Description
Embrace the warmth of family and the magic of love in this heartfelt novel.
Shy and introverted Maria McBride loves her job as carer in Shepley House Care Home. She thinks of the residents as her personal army of nannas and granddads. Preferring the quiet company of books to the bustle of social gatherings, she wonders how she will ever fulfil her dream of becoming a mother.
Paul Chambers, secondary school teacher and devoted single dad to ten year old Luke, is facing one of the worst days of his life. His mother, dementia sufferer, Rose, is being admitted to Shepley House as he can no longer care for her. The last time he felt this wretched was when his wife, Heather, walked out of the family home five years ago.
As Maria struggles with her shyness and Paul grapples with the complexities of single parenthood, Rose settles into life at Shepley House. Paul and Maria's friendship blossoms into romance despite the many challenges they face. Will the couple learn that true love knows no bounds and that sometimes, standing up for what you believe in, means fighting for the ones you cherish most?
For Love of Family is Book Three in the medical romance series, The McBrides. All the books in this series can be read as standalones
