Sweetheart

Blair Moreau is an assistant librarian helping to put on a speed-dating event at Montwater Public Library when she meets Lauren Jacobs. Lauren seems too good to be true: she's beautiful, she designs wedding gowns, she's hilarious as hell. She's the perfect candidate for tonight's one-night stand and, when Lauren tells Blair she's trans, she doesn't think twice about it. Of course, a month later, she's forced to think twice about it when she realizes she's pregnant with Lauren's baby. She never expected to have a baby of her own, being a lesbian and all, but her sister insists she tell Lauren when she decides to keep the baby. Lauren's excited to be involved in the baby's life, but Blair isn't sure if she's ready for that kind of change -- or even ready to love someone else, when she's barely ready to love herself and this baby. She's hoping for a happy ending, but afraid of her vulnerability being met with hurt. (Formerly published under a different name and pseudonym.)
