About

Something old, something new, someone borrowed…


Forty years ago, sixteen-year-old David was heartbroken when his family rejected him for coming out. Since then, he has vowed to always help anyone in need. So, when he finds a tearful young woman outside his flower shop, he can't just walk away.

Newly engaged, Meg should be overjoyed, but her conservative parents have made their disapproval painfully clear – leaving Meg devastated and wanting to call the whole wedding off.

But David won't let another young person be rejected. He offers to be Meg's 'stand-in dad', diving headfirst into dress fittings, cake tastings, and venue visits to make sure Meg's special day is unforgettable.

Yet Meg's parents' absence looms large – and when disaster strikes, can David save the wedding in time?


The Stand-in Dad is a joyful story about found family and the courage to embrace love's true colours, perfect for fans of
Matt Cain, Mike Gayle and Ryan Love.
