LOVE, JUST IN

Love, Just In is a swoon-worthy friends-to-lovers contemporary romance about love and friendship, loss, and finding the courage to follow your heart - even if it means facing your biggest fears. While offering plenty of sizzling romantic chemistry and light moments, the novel also explores the impacts of trauma and health anxiety in the era of 'Doctor Google'.

A TV reporter who dreams of the newsreader's chair, Josephine 'Josie' Larsen is approaching 30 and coming dangerously close to failing at life. A Sydneysider lost in a vortex of other people's successes and milestones, Josie is perennially single, abandoned by her globetrotting family, and invisible to her boss. Except for when he tuned in while she was mid-panic attack on live TV because of the crippling health anxiety she hasn't told anyone about. As punishment, Josie is shipped off to a regional news bureau in Newcastle. Newcastle is also the domain of Zac Jameson - Josie's beloved best friend since high school. But Zac has barely spoken to Josie since his fiancée tragically died in a car accident a year ago after discovering that Zac had romantic feelings for Josie - feelings he's kept hidden from his best friend for all this time. When Josie and Zac are forced to move in together, they rediscover the friendship they both still treasure, and he helps her through her anxiety battles while she supports his return to traumatic situations as a paramedic. However, an undercurrent of romantic tension between them begins to build until they come together in a passionate moment that changes everything. Of course, this is just the beginning...
