A small-town friends-to-lovers romance about a trainee midwife whose carefully laid plans for love go sideways. Warm, funny and tender contemporary romance of dating disasters, misplaced trust and the one who was there all along. Love, Lies And Late-Night Karaoke. Connie McBride has a plan: qualify as a midwife, confess her feelings to the man she's loved for years, and start the next chapter of her life. But when her romantic gamble backfires, she stumbles through dating disasters, emotional detours and the attentions of a newcomer who may not be all he appears. Whilst Matt Galloway supports an old friend through a crisis, Connie gives someone new a chance, only to learn that not all charm is genuine. With her confidence shaken and her heart on the line, she has a choice to make: walk away, or risk everything for the love that's been right beside her all along. Never Doubt I Love is a standalone novel in the McBride's series, for readers who love friends-to-lovers, small-town romance, midwife heroines and slow-burn second chances. Perfect for fans of Jo Bartlett, Sarah Morgan and Lucy Dillon.
