Finding My Name: (Chosen Name Book 1)

Returning to her small-town roots should have been simple, but for Maya, it feels like walking into a minefield of past expectations. She left home searching for the woman she was meant to be, and now she is back, living her truth and navigating the complexities of a community that remembers a version of her that no longer exists. The only constant in the shifting landscape is Liam, her childhood best friend whose steady presence has always felt like home. As they reconnect, the friendship they once shared begins to fray under the weight of unspoken feelings and the genuine obstacles that stand between them. This is not a story that brushes past the realities of transition or the sting of prejudice. Instead, it confronts the friction of small-town life head-on, offering an unflinching look at the courage it takes to be seen and loved for exactly who you are. Their journey is slow-burn, deeply emotional, and profoundly tender. If you are searching for a romance that celebrates the power of vulnerability, the strength of self-discovery, and a love that refuses to be bound by labels, you have finally found your next favorite read.
