The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost and Found Bookstore returns to Perdita Street with a canât-miss tale of friendship, hardship, redemption, and love between a San Francisco baker and a barbecue master from Texas.
Jerome âSugarâ Barnes learned the art of baking in his grandmaâs 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 isnât exactly on the run, but she needs a fresh start. Sheâs 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 Sugarâs bakery is the perfect setup: a state-of-the-art kitchen and a vibrant neighborhood popular with tourists and locals.
Margot instantly takes to Jeromeâs 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 powerfulâeven though Jerome worries that Margot will simply move on from him once sheâs found some peace and stability. But just as she starts to relax into a happy new future, Margotâs past in Texas comes back to haunt herâŚ
