Something old, something new, someone borrowed…
Forty years ago, sixteen-year-old David faced heartbreak when his family rejected him for coming out. Since then, David has vowed to always help anyone in need. So, when he spots a woman crying outside his flower shop one afternoon, he simply cannot ignore her.
Meg is newly engaged to the love of her life, Hannah. She had hoped her conservative parents would support her wedding, but when they stand her up at the florists, Meg is beyond gutted. Without their support, she simply wants to call the whole thing off.
But David won’t let another young person be rejected. He offers to be Meg's ‘stand-in dad’, and soon he’s accompanying her to dress fittings, cake tastings and venue visits. Yet Meg's parents are always at the front of her mind, and when disaster strikes, can David and his friends save the wedding in time? And will true love win after all?
The Stand-in Dad is a joyful story about found family, unexpected bonds, and the courage to embrace love’s true colours, perfect for fans of Matt Cain, Mike Gayle and Ryan Love.
