Bayou Baby

Seraphina Guidry loves Papillon, Louisiana, but the town has a long memory and she has given it plenty to remember. A young single mother with a past she would rather not relive, she has poured everything into her son and into the derelict historic house she is restoring — and she has sworn off men entirely.

Harrison Jefferys did not expect to end up on the bayou. After years in the Army he has come to Papillon for a job and for the chance to know his Aunt Celeste and the cousins he grew up hearing about. Then he meets Sera, and staying starts to look less like an assignment and more like a plan.

But a secret from Sera's past surfaces, and in a town this small it does not stay a private matter for long. Lexi Blake's second Butterfly Bayou novel is a warm, funny small-town romance about second chances and the cost of being known by everyone you love.
