Luke and Lindsey

It was Lindsey he needed to be thinking about ...  Hadn’t a clue how it might play out with her, but if it happened, it happened.

Luke Hassett bogs his ute and needs help. He finds a farm house and meets Lindsey Hamilton, a petite, feisty, arts student, who’s based in Sydney during the week. He also meets her mother, Heather, an out-and-out beauty, and Seb, a hulking Serbian gypsy – playful, wise yet foolish – who drops in to ‘see’ Heather from time to time.

Luke and Lindsey somehow hit it off, though Lindsey’s got it over him, talking Shakespeare and the like as she questions his intentions and sexual prowess. Dealing with Heather’s fanciful tendencies and her take on life doesn’t help Luke either. ‘You did what with who?’

Luke needs to get a grip of reality – and Lindsey. But can he trust his instincts, his sense of worth?

‘Sex, lies and misunderstood love. Articulate and sensual. Superb!’
