Book request: I think it was a historical romance, the heroine was pregnant when she was abandoned/kicked out by the hero. The heroine got wrongly accused of something (maybe stealing) so the hero tells her to get out. I think her family also kicks her out because of that scandal and then she goes to the forest, meets this weird older woman who makes mud sculptures and gives her a place to stay. She has to work really hard. Then the hero comes many months later when she is very heavily pregnant and grovels a lot. Read this maybe back in 2014, but the book was definitely older.
