Sweethearts and Second Chances: A Sapphic Second Chance Secret Baby Romance (Birchwood Heights Holidays) by Claerie Kavanaugh

Newly Revised Edition! Ten years ago, Remi Taft fell in love—and Sloane Wyman disappeared without a word. Now Remi is the heart of Birchwood Heights: a single mom, a pastry chef, and the woman everyone turns to when life needs a little extra sweetness. She’s built a life she’s proud of… one that has no room for the woman who broke her heart. Until the Valentine’s “Parent Match” fundraiser pairs her with Sloane. Sloane didn’t come back to Birchwood to fall in love again. She came to make peace with the past—and the impossible choice that forced her to leave everything behind. But one look at Remi—and the bright, curious little girl helping behind the bakery counter—shatters every wall she’s built. Because that little girl is her daughter. As Valentine’s Day approaches and the town buzzes with gossip, old wounds reopen and buried truths come to light. Remi and Sloane must decide if love can survive the past… or if some heartbreak was never meant to be healed.
