Smolder & Sugar

By L Sage Monroe

Smolder & Sugar (McAlester's Sinful Nights - Book 1)
A Steamy Small Town Romance Series with a Grumpy-Sunshine Twist, Protective Ex-Military Hero, and Slow Burn Heat

One grumpy ex-military man. One sassy small-town bakery owner. And a slow burn romance that simmers into scorching passion.

Charlie Dawson has built a sweet life in McAlester, where cinnamon rolls, strong coffee, and small-town gossip rule the day. But love? That's a risk she's not willing to take, especially with a man who seems allergic to sweets and feelings.

Wyatt Jameson came to McAlester to escape his demons, not fall for anyone. The former soldier keeps to himself, until one late-night break-in at Charlie's bakery shatters his quiet routine. Suddenly, the man who never lingers is standing guard, keeping a watchful eye over Charlie and the bakery she's poured her soul into.

As danger lurks and sparks fly, Charlie and Wyatt are forced into close quarters. The more they collide, the harder it is to ignore the tension simmering beneath every stolen glance and heated exchange. Wyatt is broody, protective, and utterly irresistible, but carrying scars he's not ready to face. And Charlie isn't a woman willing to settle for half-measures when it comes to love.

With mystery, passion, and small-town secrets swirling around them, can Charlie convince Wyatt that some risks are worth taking? Or will his past cost them both a chance at something real?

Smolder & Sugar is perfect for fans of steamy small town romance, grumpy sunshine pairings, protective alpha heroes with a cinnamon roll center, and slow-burn tension that delivers all the heat. A heart-melting romance packed with emotional depth, danger, and unforgettable small-town charm.
