One grumpy ex-soldier. One sassy bakery owner. And a small-town scandal that turns up the heat…

Charlie Dawson has two rules: never mix business with pleasure, and never fall for a man who doesn’t do sweets.
Wyatt Jameson is all hard edges and black coffee, but when an unexpected midnight intrusion shatters Charlie’s quiet bakery life, Wyatt refuses to leave her unprotected.

The more time they spend together, the harder it is for Charlie to ignore the heat simmering beneath Wyatt’s stoic exterior. He’s broody, protective, and completely off-limits… but one slow dance and a stolen kiss might just ruin her carefully built walls.

In McAlester, gossip spreads faster than sugar melts—and now everyone’s watching to see if this opposites-attract pair is destined to crash and burn… or spark something sweeter than either imagined.

For fans of small-town romance with spice, and protective heroes—Smolder & Sugar is your next binge-worthy read.
