Gimme Some Sugar

From beloved romance author Molly Harper (Half-Moon Hollow and The Nice Girls series) comes the third title in her women’s fiction series, Southern Eclectic, which features the lives, losses and loves of the McCready family as they manage their family’s generational funeral home and bait shop (you read that correctly) on the shore of picturesque Lake Sackett, Georgia.

Young widow, Lucy Brewer, returns to Lake Sackett in the hopes of starting her own bakery and putting down roots for her son. It’s so nice to see everyone she used to know, especially her childhood best friend, Duffy McCready, who always knew just what to say to comfort her.

But Duffy has been harboring a secret all these years—he’s been madly in love with Lucy since high school (more like since elementary school!), but a fear of ruining their special friendship and his own romantic obstacles stood in the way. He doesn’t want to let this second chance get away.

As her family and friends swarm her with support, Lucy has to deal with the complicated feelings of grieving for a husband who was stepping out on her and a marriage that had fallen apart long before his death. And Duffy has problems of his own—an ex-wife who he’s never been able to stand up to, and who is hell-bent on ruining any chance he’d have with another woman.

As Lucy and Duffy navigate the minefield of grown-up relationships, and a second-chance romance, the town and the McCready family steps up to make sure these two won’t miss out again.

With Gimme Some Sugar, Molly Harper proves once again that she “writes characters you can’t help but fall in love with,” (Romantic Times).
