About the book...

What if you found the love of your life ... and then lost them?

Widow, struggling farmer and self-help author Indi Carmichael finds herself staring down the barrel of her spiralling debt. Her best friend is hell-bent on getting her back in the dating saddle, but with her son acting stranger than usual and a follow-up bestseller to write, Indi doesn't have the time to fix the endless problems facing Manna Gum Farm, let alone for romance.

Washed-up actor Ben Whittam worries about everything. Controlling his life means he can control his grief, and he doesn't have to worry about any unscripted surprises. But with his anxious son's nightmares getting worse and producers breathing down his neck, Ben's summer filming on location in the small town of Kestrel Creek isn't going to plan.

With Indi's future on the farm hanging by a thread and Ben's career on the line, is falling in love while their lives are falling apart really the best idea?
