Overview:
Escape into five interconnected tales of love, resilience, and second chances with Anna Jacobs’ most-loved contemporary romance and family saga collection. This BRAND NEW paperback set brings together Marrying a Stranger, The Wishing Well, Licence to Dream, Saving Willowbrook, and Family Connections. Spanning rural England to sunlit Australian landscapes, these five novels feature strong heroines who navigate hardship, loyalty, and new beginnings. Readers who enjoy sweeping emotional arcs, character-driven plots, and narrative warmth will be drawn into lives where courage, kindness, and community matter most. Whether you’re curling up on a rainy afternoon or gifting a friend who adores heartfelt fiction, this complete set promises immersive reading and a satisfying, page-turning experience from first chapter to final love-filled conclusion. The value is clear: five novels in one beautifully presented paperback collection, perfect for binge-reading or building a treasured home library.

What Makes This Collection Special:
While each novel stands on its own, together they form a cohesive reading journey: families facing change, communities rallying, and enduring relationships tested and strengthened. The set highlights Anna Jacobs’ signature approach: richly drawn settings, multi-generational casts, and protagonists who confront real-life issues with resilience and warmth. Fans will appreciate the gentle humour, emotional honesty, and hopeful endings that reward commitment to a long-running narrative thread. Owning the full collection offers convenience and consistency; you’ll move seamlessly from one story to the next, sharing characters’ triumphs and heartbreaks without interruption. It’s also an ideal gift for readers who love to lose themselves in a world of domestic realism, early chapters that feel like catching up with old friends, and a sense of belonging that comes from following a community through decades of change. This is not just reading; it’s an experience—a binge-ready journey through love, family, and place.

Books Included in This Collection:
Marrying a Stranger
Marrying a Stranger centers on Ben and Megan, two people drawn together by necessity and a decision born from need. After a bold, practical proposal—marriage to keep what they’ve found—Megan agrees, even as uncertainty gnaws at the edges of their new life. As they navigate daily realities, the relationship deepens with tenderness, humour, and a cautious trust that slowly reshapes their futures, promising possibility beyond the original plan.

The Wishing Well
The Wishing Well invites readers into a life shaped by perseverance and unexpected partnerships. A desperate search for work and a home leads to a chance connection with Kit, a former journalist who needs a live-in housekeeper. Kit is recovering from an accident and learning to live with a disability, while the newcomer discovers strength, companionship, and a hopeful future she hadn’t imagined.

Licence to Dream
In Australia, Meriel and Ben chase personal dreams that have remained on hold since a dear loss. Very different in temperament, they are brought together by circumstance and by a growing, undeniable attraction. Sharing a house tests boundaries and trust, but also reveals resilience, kindness, and a possibility of companionship that surprised them both.

Saving Willowbrook
Saving Willowbrook follows Ella as she learns her husband Miles plans to sell the family farm after generations of toil. Facing the threat to a way of life and heartache in every corner of the homestead, Ella must rally community, confront hard truths, and discover a fresh sense of hope, loyalty, and self-reliance.

Family Connections
Family Connections follows Peggy Wilkes near Blackpool, who wakes each day to verbal abuse from her bullying husband. Like Gina, Peggy is ready to make a new start and claim a future built on dignity, respect, and independence. This novel explores friendship, sisterhood, and the quiet courage it takes to rewrite a life.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:
