All's fair in love and war, but hearts don't always listen!This is the 3rd novel in the Indigo Bay Second Chance Romances series, but all books can be read as standalones.

Social work practice with children, young people and families is complex, highly skilled - and fascinating. Writing about social work increasingly acknowledges the complexities and uncertainties of practice but rarely features the voice of the social worker themselves.

Providing thematic accounts of key areas of law and practice in social work, this new edition critically explores recent legislative developments in Scotland. Incorporating changes affecting safeguarding vulnerable people, as well as personal and community care, this text clearly links social work practice to the legal framework.
