Books like Sullivan'S Child by Gail Link

Years after a strained separation, Rory Sullivan finds himself back in the small town where he first fell in love with Caitlyn Kildare. He believes a rekindled romance with her will satisfy his lingering passion, but his plans are complicated when Tara, Caitlyn’s daughter who looks almost identical to him, enters his life. Rory, desperate to become a father, devises a marriage scheme, secretly hoping that a legal union with Caitlyn will allow him to have a child while keeping the emotional turmoil at bay. Yet the practicalities of this arrangement heighten his inner conflict, as he must navigate the boundary between marital obligation and genuine affection for Caitlyn. The story examines the challenges of adult relationships, the pull of old flames, and the search for identity and belonging in an intimate, contemporary setting.
