Paul Malloy meant to take a quiet retreat in Canada. Instead, he runs into Rosie-the girl next door, the woman who still knows exactly how to get under his skin, and the one person who makes him wonder if he's been pretending to want the wrong life all along.
Back home, his other family is a beautiful disaster of bishops, ex-nuns, priests, chickens, pregnancy scares, and opinions no one asked for. In Canada, Rosie comes with her own heartbreak, her own responsibilities, and a future that may not fit inside the walls of Marduke Manor.
Paul wanted time to think. What he gets is love, pressure from the church, and a whole lot of people expecting him to make a decision. Priesthood or marriage. Duty or desire. Home or home. And the joke, if there is one, is that everybody except Paul seems to know how this ends.
The Things We're Called To is book 5 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.
Edition Note: This is a large print edition formatted in 14‑point EB Garamond for comfortable reading.
