This Is Who I Am

Love doesn't always follow the recipe... Cass Little has built a life defined by two passions: food and control. As head chef she's used to perfection-except when it comes to her own body. Menopause has taken its toll, leaving Cass struggling to accept a body she barely recognizes. She's convinced that love, like her libido, has long left the building. Estelle Raymond is back in Clearwater Bay to grieve her father-and escape a lifetime of expectations. A brilliant mathematician, she's comfortable being asexual, but wary of the way love so often demands she be someone she's not. But something about Cass-a woman who loves fiercely but fears she's not enough-awakens a desire for connection Estelle thought she'd buried. And something about Estelle-a woman who refuses to compromise her truth-makes Cass question everything she thought she knew about passion. When old wounds and new desires collide, Cass and Estelle must learn that love isn't always about reciprocity-it's about trust, acceptance, and finding comfort in the unexpected. Set in the small coastal town of Clearwater Bay, This Is Who I Am is a heartwarming sapphic romance about queer identity, self-acceptance, and the messy, beautiful ways we learn to love again.
