welcome

Welcome to my love stories for hopeful romantics!

I’m Jacquelyn Middleton, award-winning author of contemporary fiction and romance, and the 2019 recipient of the Best Canadian Author award from the Toronto Romance Writers. Thank you so much for stopping by.

I HAVE BOOK NEWS!

My sixth novel — a past/present timeline, second chance summer romance set in Orkney, the archipelago of islands off the north coast of Scotland — will be released in ebook and paperback August 10th!
🎉
Please save a spot on your beach read TBR for Evie and Nikolai’s story, A SMILE IN A WHISPER.

If you enjoyed Christina Lauren’s LOVE & OTHER WORDS or Carley Fortune’s EVERY SUMMER AFTER, then A SMILE IN A WHISPER is for you!

A SMILE IN A WHISPER is a standalone contemporary romance, which takes place in the same world as my five previous books (but it’s very connected to Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye, so you might want to check that one out first). It’s romantic and swoony and a bit angsty and heartbreaking. It also features a female lead with Crohn’s disease, a male lead living with a panic disorder (both health situations my family deals with), and takes place in my ancestral home where my grandmother’s family hails from — the Orkney Islands! I can’t wait for you to visit this beautiful Scottish county of endless sky and sea!

However, it should be said that, like my other novels, A SMILE IN A WHISPER is not a rom-com.

For the description, pre-order links (ebook is only 99 cents US for a limited time), and content notes, click here. There WILL be a paperback pre-order, too, with lots of lovely swag (stickers, magnets, exclusive Liz Parkes art) and info on that will be available soon.

If you’d like more info about my books or writing process, or are interested in behind-the-scenes content, you’ll find plenty here in my blog as well as playlists under my ‘extras’ menu.
