The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost and Found
Bookstore returns to Perdita Street with a can't-miss tale of
friendship, hardship, redemption, and love between a San Francisco baker
and a barbecue master from Texas.
Jerome "Sugar" Barnes learned the art of baking in his grandma's bakery,
also called Sugar, on historic Perdita Street in San Francisco. He
supplies baked goods to the Lost and Found Bookshop across the street.
When the restaurant that shares his commercial kitchen loses its
longtime tenant, a newcomer moves in: Margot Salton, a barbecue master
from Texas.
Margot isn't exactly on the run, but she needs a fresh start. She's
taken care of herself her whole life, pulling herself up by her
fingernails to recover from trauma, and her dream has been to open a
restaurant somewhere far, far from Texas. The shared kitchen with Jerome
Sugar's bakery is the perfect setup: a state-of-the-art kitchen and a
vibrant neighborhood popular with tourists and locals.
Margot instantly takes to Jerome's grandmother, the lively, opinionated
Ida, and the older woman proves to be a good mentor. Margot thinks
Jerome is gorgeous, and despite their different backgrounds their
attraction is powerful--even though Jerome worries that Margot will
simply move on from him once she's found some peace and stability. But
just as she starts to relax into a happy new future, Margot's past in
Texas comes back to haunt her...
