Parenthood is never simple, but for Cassie, it’s become a daily battle of heart versus truth. In Conflicts of Interest, the first installment of Mum’s Chain Series, Cassie is forced to confront a past she’s kept hidden for years. Her son’s father, Matt, has just discovered he has a child secret Cassie kept to protect her son from being hurt by a man who never wanted children.
Now, Cassie is walking a tightrope, trying to decide what’s best for her little boy while keeping the truth from tearing their lives apart. To make things even more complicated, she’s finally found a man she connects with. Theo is kind, understanding, and a single parent too. But he’s also Matt’s brother.
As Cassie navigates love, secrecy, and the overwhelming weight of doing right by her son, she’s left with no easy answers. Conflicts of Interest is a powerful story of a mother’s resilience, her search for identity, and the impossible decisions we face when love and loyalty collide.
It’s an honest and heartfelt story about love, parenting, and picking yourself back up. The book follows Cassie and Theo as they try to rebuild something meaningful while navigating past wounds, co-parenting challenges, and unexpected turns. It’s a reminder that love is often found in the quiet, everyday moments.
The name reflects how motherhood creates invisible links between women. Each book in the series shows a different part of that chain, whether it’s the emotional weight mums carry, the strength they pass on, or the healing they discover along the way.
There is romance, but it’s so much more than that. This story touches on grief, growth, motherhood, and how people heal in different ways. The love story is important, but it’s grounded in real life, not just sparks and butterflies.
The characters feel real. They make mistakes, they struggle, and they try again. Readers have connected with the raw honesty in the way Hannah writes about family, parenting, and relationships that aren’t picture-perfect but are still full of love.
Not at all. Conflicts of Interest is the first book in the Mum’s Chain Series and a great place to begin. It sets the tone for the stories to come and gives you a chance to really get to know Cassie, Theo, and the journey they’re on.
