The Journalist and the Dog Walker by Jennie Jones book cover

Book #1

When headstrong meets stubborn, and the last thing they expect to find is love.

A feel-good, opposites attract, small-town romance set on the New South Wales coast.

Book 1 in the Lucky in Love series.

Sophie has a business to save. Nick has a family crisis to fix. And love is about to get in their way.

Sophie Hammond thought she had only seven all-consuming problems.

Starting a house and garden help agency in country-coastal Swan’s Head is her last chance for a new beginning. Despite reluctant workers, unpredictable locals, and a client with five spectacularly untrainable dogs up at dilapidated Brookes House, she has no intention of failing.

Then a grouchy journalist catches her red-handed with a suitcase full of Miss Brookes’ hidden cash, and Sophie suddenly has a very inconvenient problem number eight.

Foreign correspondent Nick Berringer came to Swan’s Head to mend his grandmother’s feud with a great-aunt he never knew existed. Instead, he finds unexplained cash stashed in his great-aunt’s attic, a stately old house falling apart around them, and an exasperatingly quick-witted dog walker standing between him and the truth.

Nick doesn’t do small towns, feuding relatives or misplaced trust. Sophie doesn’t do brooding journalists who assume the worst. But somewhere between the family secrets, the hidden cash, and the unruly dogs determined to throw them together at every opportunity, they discover that neither of them came to this small town looking for the one thing they’re about to find.

Each other.

When realist meets optimist and the last thing on their minds is love.

A feel-good, opposites attract, fish out of water romance set in a New South Wales coastal-country town.

Book 2 in the Lucky in Love series.

Claire has her very existence to save. James has one deal to make. And love is about to complicate everything.

Claire O’Neil was living the dream until the landlord turned up to sell her treasured sweet shop, The Lolly Box. With nowhere else to live or run her business, she believes that if she pretends to like the man, he’ll come round to her way of thinking. But pretending to like James Vincent might be the one mistake she can’t undo.

More used to city life than the countryside, James arrives in Swan’s Head on Monday with no intention of staying the night. By Friday, he's still stuck in town, still negotiating with Claire, and still hiding a family secret he's determined to bury by selling the shop.

Faced with Claire’s persuasive nature and her unfathomable belief he’s going to capitulate, James is certain his business sense and realism will prevail over her unshakeable optimism.

But by the following week he’s still in town, still negotiating, and dangerously close to falling for the woman standing between him and the deal.

How is he supposed to sell the shop to repay an old family debt, and leave, when this tiny coastal-country town holds the last thing he expected to find?

Claire.

When cheerful meets reclusive and the last thing they expect is matchmaking.

An opposites attract, small-town romance set on the New South Wales coast.


Book 3 in the Lucky in Love series

Bella is occupied with opening her boutique. Daniel is busy safeguarding his quiet life. And love is about to turn up uninvited and spin everything upside down.

Bella Campbell and Daniel Forrester haven’t even officially met. But the whole town has them halfway down the aisle.

Which is frustrating, considering Bella has a list of frenzied last-minute hiccups to fix before she opens her boutique and zero interest in being matched with the reclusive, grumpy farmer down Lower Swan Lane. Never mind that everyone, including her friends Sophie and Claire, thinks it’s a match made in heaven.

And Daniel? He’s just a misunderstood guy who’d like to be left alone, thanks. With no-one gossiping about him, banning him from something, blaming him for something that definitely wasn’t his fault—or enquiring when he’s going to ask Bella Campbell out.

Then Bella faces an issue that could see her lose everything she’s worked so hard for. And there’s only one man in town who can help.

Daniel.
