Love takes a loner and a grieving mother by surprise

Farm labourer, Bluey (Lachlan Murdoch), has been travelling for twenty years, constantly on the move to forget the death of his baby girl.

Dairy farmer, Helen Wilson, is barely keeping her head above water. Her fifteen-year-old son suicided and her older son flees the area looking for paid work to help keep the farm. When a neighbour gifts her three months of Bluey's time, it's a lifeline.

Bluey admires Helen's fierce defence of her boys. Helen appreciates Bluey's quiet presence and his daily acts of kindness. When desire enters the mix, Bluey worries he's taking advantage. Helen feels guilty about forgetting her boys, even for a moment.

Commitment isn't in Bluey's playbook. Helen's struggling to navigate grief. Baring one's soul, even sharing one's body, is easier with a deadline.

But with the clock ticking down, what risks are they prepared to take with their hearts?

Award winning author Jennifer Raines excels at the emotional slow burn love story. The Wrong Time for Love offers second chance, over forties male and female leads, forbidden love, forced proximity, and definitely no strings attached.
