Marshall Family Books in Order

The Marshall Family series is a small-town, blue-collar romance set around Peachwood Falls, Indiana. These books focus on working men, complicated pasts, and women who arrive at exactly the wrong time, which of course means exactly the right time for a romance.

The first book, More Than I Could, follows Chase Marshall. He is a single dad, a grumpy employer, and a man who needs help with his teenage daughter for a limited time. The heroine steps in as a temporary nanny, and the close quarters make their verbal sparring harder and harder to ignore.

That story gives the series its core feel: family first, feelings second, and denial everywhere.

This Much Is True shifts to Luke Marshall and Laina Kelley. Laina is a celebrity runaway bride who flees her wedding and ends up at Luke’s farm, the place that once felt like home. Luke is her first love and frenemy, and the forced pause from her public life gives them space to confront what never fully ended.

The Marshalls are less glossy than some of Locke’s other families. They work, they tease, they protect each other, and they live in a town small enough that privacy is more of a wish than a reality. The setting matters because it gives the romances room to slow down. Barns, family homes, local expectations, and long histories all shape the choices the characters make.

This is a good series if you like single dads, nannies, farms, second chances, and heroes who are gruff on the outside but soft where it counts. Read More Than I Could first for the family setup, then continue with This Much Is True for Luke and Laina’s second-chance story.
