The Things We Don't Talk About [Large Print]

By Victoria Hardy Childermass

Sister Kate knows how to run a school, how to handle a crisis, and how to keep a straight face while carrying a whole mess of secrets. What she's not supposed to do is move into a rectory with two priests, become principal at a Catholic school on life support, and fall back into orbit around Jake-the man who killed her high school boyfriend.

Jake is trying to keep his parish, his school, and his lingering feelings about his ex-fianc e from destroying his life. That would be hard enough without Kate showing up in a veil, an engagement ring, and the wrong kinds of distractions. Together, they're forced to tackle bingo politics, church politics, and the kind of feelings confession can't quite fix.

But when the school's survival starts depending on decisions neither of them can afford to get wrong, Kate and Jake face a question bigger than romance: what happens when the life you promised God collides with the life your heart still wants?

The Things We Don't Talk About is book 2 in the Marduke Manor series The Marduke Manor series blends Catholic life, found-family chaos, and the complexities of adult relationships. Moments of intimacy appear, but the focus stays on conscience, consent, and character.
