Sugar On Ice - A.M. McCoy

Marigold "Goldie" James is the heart and soul of Cedar Bluff.

Her bakery, Honey & Hearth, is the beating center of town-where warmth, laughter, and the smell of fresh bread make the long winters feel a little less cold. But when disaster strikes and her bakery floods overnight, Goldie's world is turned upside down-and so are her feelings for two very different people who rush to help her rebuild.

Rhea Dalton, the dominant, no-nonsense firefighter with smoke in her smile and confidence that crackles like flame, makes Goldie feel alive in ways she's never dared to imagine.

And Tanner Brooks, Cedar Bluff's golden-boy officer, has a steadiness and charm that makes her feel like she's already home.

When the three of them are brought together for the town's biggest event of the year-the Cuffs and Hoses Charity Hockey Tournament-things start to heat up on and off the ice. The fire department and the police department may be competing for the championship, but it's starting to look like the real game is for Goldie's heart.

Goldie doesn't want to choose.

She loves Rhea's fire. She craves Tanner's loyalty.

And somewhere between the tension, the laughter, and the spicy late-night confessions, she starts to realize maybe she doesn't have to.

But as their passions grow, something darker brews beneath Cedar Bluff's picture-perfect surface. One by one, local shops begin to suffer mysterious "accidents," and whispers spread of a powerful developer trying to buy out the heart of downtown.

To protect the town they love, Goldie, Rhea, and Tanner will have to put their rivalry aside and work together-on the ice, in the streets, and in the warmth of Honey & Hearth-before Cedar Bluff loses everything that makes it home.

Welcome back to Cedar Bluff, where sugar and spice melt the ice.
