Sweet second chance sapphic romance novella

Espressoly Yours

Some people are worth coming home for.

Six years apart.
One coffee shop reunion.
A love that never stopped brewing.

When Olivia returns to her hometown after six years away, the last thing she expects is to fall back into easy conversation with Avery Miller at their old coffee shop. What starts as nostalgic small talk quickly becomes something deeper when Olivia realizes Avery has been waiting—sketching locals, managing the bookstore, and maybe hoping for exactly this moment.

With one week until her flight back and a lifetime of playing it safe behind her, Olivia must decide: keep running from who she is, or finally run toward who she wants to become.

Ideal for readers who love gentle emotional reconnection, slow-burn queer love stories, and contemporary characters rediscovering each other. With warmth, hope, and coffee-shop charm, this novella captures love that’s both familiar and new—perfect for fans of character-driven romance and meaningful second chances.

Author’s Notes About the Book

Espressoly Yours is about the spaces between now and then. I wanted to explore reconnection not just as a dramatic event, but as a gentle return—to the person you once were, the person you’ve become, and the person you might still become together.

In writing this novella, I let myself linger in the quiet moments—exchanged glances over coffee cups, old memories surfacing in laughter, the soft tug of regret and hope in the same heartbeat. Because sometimes love isn’t loud. Sometimes it waits behind a familiar door and knocks again.

Espressoly Yours, a second chances sweet sapphic romance by Cameron Tate

What is Espressoly Yours about?
It’s a sweet, second-chance sapphic romance. Two women find themselves back where they started, in the same coffee shop, facing each other (and their unresolved feelings). It’s about revisiting old wounds, finding forgiveness, and letting love begin again.

Is it a standalone?
Yes. It stands alone, complete with its own emotional arc and happy ending. It also belongs to the broader Redwood Hollow universe (see other titles below), but you don’t have to have read anything else to enjoy it.

Is there spice?
Kissing only.

Do I need to read the other books first?
Not at all.

Who should read it?
Readers who love warm, emotional contemporary romances, especially those that revisit relationships with growth and hope. Ideal for fans of authors like … let’s say Abby Jimenez, Casey McQuiston, or Talia Hibbert (soft-edge) who want sweet, hopeful queer love stories.
