Love in the Cupboard by Mari Jane Law – Published 1 March 2023
A Catholic priest looking for a wife. A betrayed woman in need of an honest man. What could possibly go wrong?
The eagerly awaited second novel in the Love & Mishaps series is here!
Following on from Love & Pollination, Love in the Cupboard is a quirky, uplifting and hilarious contemporary romance set in Bristol in the UK. Though they form a series, both can be read as standalone novels.
Love in the Cupboard
When Father Thomas Sheridan encounters Faith in a dark cupboard, he believes he’s found his future wife. But Tom isn’t brave enough to tell her the truth… When Faith meets Tom in the office kitchenette, she can’t stand him. No matter, she’s fallen for the mysterious man she met in the cupboard and can’t wait to meet him again. Oh, and she’s got a new rule: one lie and he’s out. She’s not getting duped again.
But everyone loves Tom. From Perdita, Faith’s friend, to Hope, her chronically ill sister—who’s on the lookout for a man herself. And neighbours Luke and Gavin—who’ve fallen out over Luke wanting a baby. They urge Faith to give Tom a chance. But how can she have strong feelings for two men? And even worse, how will she react when she discovers that Tom is the man in the cupboard—and, heaven forbid, a Catholic priest?
Love in the Cupboard: A charming, sweet, quirky, farcical, hilarious, contemporary romance set in Bristol, UK. Heat level: mild – sometimes described as “fade to black” – and comedic. Language: mild.
