Perfect for you if...

  • You love small-town romance with real stakes and genuine emotional conflict, not just surface-level tension.
  • You're drawn to stories where single parents find love without the relationship feeling like a consolation prize.
  • You want a feel-good read that doesn't shy away from the messiness of loyalty, secrets, and choosing between people you care about.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer romance without moral complexity or situations where characters must betray someone they care about.
  • You're looking for a fast-burn romance rather than a slower build with emotional weight.
  • You want stories where the small town is just scenery, not a character that shapes the plot and community.

About this book

It Takes a Village is set in Hope Cove, a seaside village in Devon. Leo returns to his hometown to raise his daughter, whom he only recently learned about following a brief encounter with a woman he barely knows. As a new single father, he relies on support from old friends. Caitlin visits Hope Cove to check on a baby her friend placed for adoption, intending to leave quickly. However, she develops an immediate attraction to Leo and finds herself spending increasing time with him and his daughter, Alice. She begins to fall for both of them. Caitlin faces a dilemma: pursuing a relationship with Leo would mean betraying her closest friend. She must decide whether she is willing to risk that friendship for the possibility of love, and whether she is ready for the complexities of being in a relationship with a single father.
