Summary

Something old, something new, someone borrowed…

Thirty years ago, sixteen-year-old David had his worst fears come true when he came out to his family and was rejected. Devastated and alone, David vowed to always help others in need. So, when David sees a woman crying outside his florist one afternoon, he feels compelled to ask if she's okay.​​

Meg is newly engaged to the love of her life, Hannah. Meg was hoping her conservative parents could find it in their hearts to support their marriage and invited them to help choose her wedding flowers. But she has been waiting at the florist for hours and her parents haven’t shown up. Without their support, Meg wants 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 and accompany her to dress fittings, cake tastings and venue visits. However, 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.
