Two rivals. One store. And meddlesome matchmaking grandmas with an agenda.
Adam Pritchett knows exactly what Lucy Stirling is…a sugar-coated schemer with a gift for charming every grandmother in a ten-mile radius into giving her whatever she wants. He's never been fooled by those smiles. Not once.
Lucy thinks Adam needs help. Professional, medicated help. And maybe a straitjacket. Because what other explanation is there for a man who has nursed a grudge for fifteen years over one tiny, accidental humiliation? Of course, Lucy hasn’t forgotten it either, but that is absolutely not the point.
The point is…she wants the vacant storefront on Main Street for her bakery. She has plans, she has recipes, and she had the town council in her pocket, right up until Adam waltzed back into Maplewood and decided he needed the same space to expand his family's diner.
Neither of them is backing down.
The town council, better known as the Maplewood Matchmakers, a coven of meddlesome grandmas with suspiciously good timing, has a solution. Share the space for six months. Whoever runs the more successful business wins.
It's a terrible idea. Naturally, Adam and Lucy say it's war. And somewhere between the bickering, the baking, and the extremely inconvenient chemistry, it might also be something neither of them saw coming.
Sugar and Spite…because love is sweeter when you've had to fight for it.
If you like funny romcoms that you can read in one sitting, Sugar and Spite is the perfect slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small-town romantic comedy for you, where found family meddles shamelessly, old grudges die hard, and even the grumpiest of chefs can't resist a little sweetness.
Genre: Romance
