Hitting the Jackpot
What to expect
His wife is leaving him. He's just won the lottery. Does she really need to know? A hilarious debut novel of love, luck, and hard-to-keep secrets . . .
This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
A thirty-something English teacher and amateur linguist, Jack just about makes ends meet—as does his Aussie fitness-instructor, soon-to-be ex-wife. She's finally run out of patience with Jack. What she doesn't know is that Jack has hit the jackpot: well over two million pounds in lottery winnings. Swearing his brother to secrecy, Jack figures this unexpected fortune will go a long way toward cushioning the blow of his divorce.
But keeping his win a secret from his wife proves to be a harder task than Jack first imagines, especially as she knows his favourite numbers, so is convinced that he has won and is deliberately trying to cut her out.
Jack's problems deepen when his shiny new BMW is hit by another car—driven by the shaken and disheveled but gorgeous Milly . . .
