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.

A SMILE IN A WHISPER, my sixth novel — a past/present timeline, second chance summer romance set in Orkney, the archipelago of islands off the north coast of Scotland — is out now in ebook and paperback!

Evie and Nikolai’s story is the perfect addition to your romance TBR!

If you enjoyed Christina Lauren’s Love & Other Words, Carley Fortune’s Every Summer After or Chloe Liese’s With You Forever, then A SMILE IN A WHISPER is for you!

A SMILE IN A WHISPER, recipient of THREE glowing industry reviews, 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.

I’ve also released a new, alternate cover for THE CERTAINTY OF CHANCE, my Christmas in London romance beloved by Entertainment Weekly. The ‘Christmas Pudding Special Edition’ features cover artwork by Leni Kauffman and a traditional Christmas recipe inside. For more info and purchase links, click here.
