The Lost & Found series – Book 2
Finding Molly Parsons was just the beginning. Now, it’s Carmen’s turn.
Faith has found love in Nathalie. Mateo’s longtime crush has finally turned into something real. And Molly? She’s hoping love might finally find her, too.
But when Carmen Ruiz leaves without warning—on a personal mission to confront the past that still haunts her—it sets off a new journey for this found family of unforgettable misfits. Her quest becomes a cross-country odyssey of redemption, reconciliation, and unexpected romance.
Meanwhile, Faith and Molly are pulled back to Kentucky, Enid Butcher flirts her way into a fire station, and a mysterious woman named Mariana prepares to face someone she’s waited 37 years to see again.
As old wounds reopen and buried secrets rise, Carmen must decide if she’s ready to give her heart to Molly—and Molly must choose if she’s brave enough to keep it.
Keeping Carmen Ruiz is a sapphic romantic adventure filled with laughter, forgiveness, and love that spans lifetimes. With the ever-glittering Mateo and the irrepressible Enid by their sides, the Ruiz-Parsons family prove once again that chosen bonds are the strongest of all—and that true love is always worth chasing.
