The Wrong Time for Love
By Jennifer Raines
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.

Tainted
By Jennifer Raines
Poppy Madsen’s not exactly in hiding. Yet. This trip’s a quick in and out of her home town to see where her grandpa’s buried and say her final goodbyes.
Grandpa banished her. Told her never to return, then pointed forensic accountant Poppy in the direction of her parents’ company, pushing her to bring them down. Family honour demands it. Now whispers are swirling about her role in their company, and government agencies are squabbling over jurisdiction for the impending court case.
Mitch Watkins, a small town lawyer and Ivar Madsen’s executor is now living in Ivar’s house. He bore witness to Ivar’s grief at Poppy’s abandonment. He doesn’t trust Poppy. She’s the enemy—right?
Mitch and Poppy circle each other. Both have learned to ration trust, but can’t deny their growing attraction. Daily, they cross boundaries they vowed not to cross, but can’t resist.
Is Poppy tainted by her family’s crimes, or has everyone mistaken her for something she isn’t?
Award winning author Jennifer Raines always surprises. She consistently delivers sensual, emotional romance with relatable characters, but she likes to explore new ideas and places. Set in Northland, New Zealand, Tainted is a contemporary romance novel with suspense elements featuring a morally complex heroine, a guarded small-town lawyer, forced proximity, family secrets and a hard-won journey toward trust.
