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.

Meg is newly engaged to the love of her life, Hannah. She 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 ofMatt Cain, Mike Gayle and Ryan Love.
