1 y separately published work icon The Dating Quiz L. J. Young , Melbourne : Destiny Romance , 2015 9042102 2015 single work novel romance

'Magazine stylist Dani Conroy has a tragic dating history. She's popular with men, but Dani is after a lasting relationship and the guys she dates never want to stick around. When her most recent boyfriend breaks up with her at the cinema, she decides to give up dating entirely.

'Dani swears off romance and turns to ice-cream, old movies and her girlfriends. When she realises they're having their own dating problems, she whips up a quiz to unearth everyone's perfect partner and starts matchmaking – with unexpected results.

'Meanwhile, her dedication to staying single is challenged by Josh Reeves, the gorgeous new staff photographer. He's not interested in dating either, although he won't say why. The two of them start hanging out as friends, but it isn't long before Dani is wondering exactly why he's not interested in a relationship – with her or anyone else.'

1 y separately published work icon The Trouble with Lucy L. J. Young , Melbourne : Destiny Romance , 2013 Z1914008 2013 single work novel romance 'Lucy Lockhart had it all. A glamorous job, a successful boyfriend and a fabulous apartment. But when she's sent to recuperate at her parents' country house following a sudden illness, she meets dreamy, blue-eyed Tom McGregor, and suddenly starts to realise what she's been missing.

Tom takes one look at city girl Lucy and decides to avoid her at all costs. He's been hurt by girls like her before. But there's something about Lucy and, as their paths continue to cross, he realises there's more to her than meets the eye.

Despite their deepening feelings, neither can imagine a future together. Lucy could never live in the country and Tom could never go back to the city. The very idea horrifies them both. Their hearts, however, have other plans.

An often hilarious rural romance with lots of laid-back country charm, a rich cast of characters and a sizzling love affair between two opposites who are deeply attracted to each other.' (Publisher's blurb)
