(2022)(A book in the No Ordinary Family series)
An omnibus of novels by Linda Barrett
No Ordinary Family is a five-book series and the complete story of the Delaney family siblings—orphans—and how they survive their loss by depending on one another.
Lisa – at 23 years old, gives up her dream of becoming a lawyer
Jennifer – at 16, wants to emancipate and live on her own
Brian and Andrew – 9-year-old identical twins, now more inseparable than ever
Emily – 7 years old, haunted by nightmares but sure her mom can hear her in Heaven
Mike Brennan – is confident he and Lisa can handle this unexpected family together. Simply move up their wedding date.
The first four books feature the younger siblings all grown up, but wary of giving their hearts, even to the right person:
Unforgettable(Book 1) – Jennifer Delaney has life figured out: a rocking career in finance, a great group of friends and singing with the community chorus. She’s happy. Until an upbeat familiar voice from the past reawakens her heart and reminds her of what she’s been missing.
Safe at Home (Book 2) – Starting pro pitcher, Brian Delaney, loves the game, fans and having a good time. He thinks he’s in control. Management doesn’t, however, and assigns Megan Ross to help him with an attitude change -- be consistent on the mound. The woman’s been on his radar, but working with her? A big joke. Until the joke’s on him.
Heartstrings (Book 3) – World renowned solo violinist, Emily Delaney, has accomplished what few musicians do with her acclaimed career. Until her badly-injured hand and the challenges presented by talented but “bossy” orthopedist, Scott Miller, force her to reexamine her solo life.
His Greatest Catch (Book 4) – Red Sox power hitter, Andy Delaney, has a great care-free life and siblings he can count on. Until they serve him up at a bachelor auction for charity. When he runs into an old high-school friend, widow and single-mom Shannon Murphy, he implores her to “save” him by bidding on him at the auction. While her grief is easing, a new social life is not even on her radar. Helping out an old friend, however, seems safe enough.
The Broken Circle (Book 5) – Circle back to the beginning, when newlyweds Lisa and Mike take on the responsibilities of raising the four grieving youngsters while handling their own grief, marriage, career and financial responsibilities. Their viewpoints differ; tension grows. Most of all, however, Lisa is haunted by thoughts of her parents’ expectations. Is she good enough? Are they proud of her? Slowly, all the issues Lisa and Mike confront lead to the meltdown of their marriage. Has love died? Or has it been buried beneath the obligations faced by two very young people armed only with good intentions?
