Sugar and Second Chances - A Small Town Lesbian Romance #933490

Ten years ago, Maya fled Willowbrook and the girl who made her heart ache with possibility. She built a carefully controlled life in Seattle's elite culinary world, where success could be measured in Michelin stars and critic reviews. But when her grandmother dies and leaves Maya the family bakery, she's pulled back to the town she swore she'd never return to… and into the orbit of Jess, the woman she never stopped loving.

Jess has built a life here. She's a respected contractor, deeply rooted in the community Maya abandoned. She's also never forgiven Maya for the letters that stopped coming, for the promises that dissolved like sugar in rain. Now they're forced into close quarters as Jess renovates the crumbling bakery, and the chemistry between them ignites like it never died… dangerous, consuming, inevitable.

When Maya's former boss offers her the career opportunity of a lifetime in Seattle, she's torn between the ambition that's defined her and the love she's rediscovering. Jess has been hurt before and won't compete with Maya's dreams. The choice seems impossible: the prestigious life Maya worked a decade to build, or the messy, beautiful reality of home and second chances.

Can Maya choose love over ambition without losing herself or will history repeat itself, destroying them both for good?
