The House on Burra Burra Lane

2013

A dilapidated house, a city girl looking for a tree change, and a rugged vet with a past. Just another day in rural Australia… Just ten days after her fresh start in the isolated Snowy Mountains, Samantha Walker trips over a three hundred pound pig and lands in the arms of Dr. Ethan Granger—and the firing line for gossip. It was hardly a ‘date’ but sparks of the sensual kind are difficult to smother in a community of only 87 people. Now there’s a bet running on how long she’ll stay and what she’ll get up to while she’s in town. Ethan has his own issues—Sammy’s presence in his childhood home brings with it painful recollections of family scandals and a bad boy youth. When the gossip around them heightens, his life is suddenly a deck of cards spread on the table for all to see. Then Sammy's past catches up with her... and it looks like all bets are off.Praise for THE HOUSE ON BURRA BURRA LANE: 'The House On Burra Burra Lane is impressively crafted, something I’ve come to appreciate in the romance genre.' — Random Book Muses 'This books has it all, a sexy vet, beautiful scenery, cute children, and a three hundred pound pig.' — Harlequin Junkie 'In bringing together two bruised characters, one of which harbours some awful memories of familial abuse, debut author Jennie Jones has sprinkled the narrative with humour and wit, added some tender moments and sizzling sex scenes and presented them in a package which encapsulates the dynamics of small town living and the memories and secrets which can make or break us.' — Book Muster Down Under

The House at the Bottom of the Hill

2015

From the best-selling author of The House on Burra Burra Lane, comes a brand-new story about opposites, attraction, an outback pub, and a pink house... The mysterious death of her mother has left Charlotte Simmons on edge and off-balance for too long. The only way to move forward is to get answers, and those answers can only be found in one place. So Charlotte buys a Bed & Breakfast establishment in Swallow’s Falls, a small town in Australia’s Snowy Mountains, as a ploy to get close to the man who might have the answers. She’ll jazz up the old place, flip it, get her answers, and be gone in two-months – max. What she doesn’t count on is opposition from the dogmatic and slightly eccentric members of the town council, and the hotshot owner of Kookaburra’s Bar & Grill and his two-hundred-squats-a-day physique whose mouth offers to act as mediator, but his eyes promise something so much more. Easy-going Daniel Bradford knows progress is slow in Swallow’s Fall. He’s finally about to put his plans into place to upgrade the hotel when a prim-and-proper, citified redhead blows into town, putting everyone on edge. The only way to contain the trouble she’s about to cause is to contain her – but he knows trouble when he sees it, and soon it becomes very clear that there’s absolutely nothing containable about Charlotte, or the way he feels about her.

He can’t be with her – but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t see her. Lily has spent her whole life cheerfully giving to others.
