‘This is another winner from Wiggs’ Booklist

The heart-warming new story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Lost and Found Bookshop, exploring friendship, hardship, redemption and love.

Jerome Barnes has been baking in his grandmother’s bakery, Sugar, since he was a boy.

When mysterious newcomer Margot Salton takes over the tenancy in the restaurant that shares his kitchen, he’s intrigued…

Margot isn’t exactly on the run … but she needs a fresh start, and her dream to open a restaurant far, far away from her life back home is finally coming true.

The shared kitchen with Jerome's bakery is the perfect set-up. And the heat that cooks up in the kitchen between herself and Jerome is the perfect distraction.

But just as she starts to relax into a happy new future, Margot’s past comes back to haunt her…
