Love in the Cupboard: Love & Mishaps Book 2 can be read as a standalone novel.

A Catholic priest seeks a wife. A betrayed woman needs an honest man.
What could possibly go wrong?

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?
