Sugar

Glass follows Spice with this touching story of redemption and second chances. Siobhan “Sugar” Malloy, a part-time burlesque dancer and former drug addict, has made a lot of mistakes in her life, but she’s done one thing right: teaming up with fellow former addict Nadia Spiceland to found the Sugar and Spice Café in a tiny California town. Charlie O’Halloran’s parents were killed in an accident, and he’s raised his three siblings, almost forgetting that he has needs too. While he’s incredibly attracted to Siobhan, he’s not sure she can handle his family responsibilities. Siobhan fears that like her ex-husband, her bitter daughter, and her parents, Charlie won’t be able to forgive her past addictions, or look past their age difference. How Charlie proves her wrong is a powerful lesson in love and forgiveness. Anyone wrestling with demons in their past will take heart from this passionate contemporary and look forward to the third in this sizzling series. Agent: Jenny Bent, Bent Agency. (Nov.)
