THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET
by Jennie Jones
BLURB:
Gemma
Munroe loves hard, laughs hard and plays hard. Or at least she did before
today. Her dream is finally within her grasp – owning the toy shop in Swallow’s
Fall. Only one person has the power to get in her way: Josh Rutherford – the
love of her life who kissed her and left her ten years ago is coming home.
Josh will be in town
for five days. He’ll finally sever the ties to a youth filled with poverty by
selling the properties that are now his. He’s returning healthy, wealthy and
emotionally stable, and then he’ll leave forever. It’s all in the plan.
Everything…except for Gem. He never forgot her, but he definitely forgot the
effect she has on him. Now she’s got problems, and he can’t seem to leave
without trying to help her solve them.
(Author note: every
book in the Swallow’s Fall series can be read as a stand-alone story.)

EXCERPT:
‘I was hoping we could have our
business chat.’
’Oh, business.’ Gem fiddled with her
large hoop earrings. Beneath her fleece-lined jacket she wore a thick white
V-necked T-shirt and she’d been warm enough for the winter cold, but now she
felt hot—and a little bothered.
‘I was wondering—what your position
is,’ Josh said. ‘And if you needed help in some way. I mean—are you in a
position to make the purchase?’
‘Yes.’
‘Are you sure?’
No, but she wasn’t going to let Josh
know that. ‘I wouldn’t mind a week or two to gets things finalised.’
‘No problem. And what about the flat
above? Are you intending to live in it?’
‘Of course. Where else would I
live?’
‘I’ve got a place in mind. A five
minute walk out of town.’
‘What place?’ she asked, frowning.
He shook his head. ‘Maybe later.
Let’s stick to the shop for the moment.’
‘Actually,’ she said, ‘I am a little
busy. Can we have this chat tomorrow?’
Josh looked up at the wall art.
Gem had created history with her
mural of the town, but she couldn’t tell from Josh’s expression what he was
thinking.
‘It’s not graffiti,’ she said.
‘Don’t utter that word unless you top it with “art”.’
‘I wasn’t about to say anything
except … it’s stunning. It’s got flair. And charm.’ He looked her up and down
then grinned. ‘Bit like you. When you’re not covering up whatever it is that’s
bothering you with your temper.’
AUTHOR BIO:
Born and brought up in Wales, Jennie Jones loved anything with a
romantic element from an early age. At eighteen, she went to drama school in
London then spent a number of years performing in British theatres, becoming
someone else two hours, eight performances a week.
Jennie wrote her first romance story at the age of twenty five
while ‘resting’ (a theatrical term for ‘out of work’). She wrote a western. But
nobody wanted it! Before she got discouraged a musical theatre job came up and
Jennie put writing to one side.
She now lives in Western Australia, a five minute walk to the
beach that she loves to look at but hardly ever goes to - too much sand.
Jennie returned to writing four years ago. She says writing keeps
her artistic nature dancing and her imagination bubbling. Like acting, she
can’t envisage a day when it will ever get boring.
All of Jennie’s bestselling Swallow’s Fall series books can be read
as stand-alone stories.
