Sweet Like Honey: A Small Town, Second Chance Romance (Sugar Springs)

Deidra Duncan

He’s Georgia royalty. She’s the town’s cautionary tale. Neither of them saw this coming. Shay Honeycutt has a plan for everything. But she couldn’t plan for this: broke, unemployed, and returned to the small town she thought she’d outrun, where elitism runs deep and jobs are scarce. So when a local distillery begs for Shay’s marketing expertise, requesting help to repair their damaged reputation, she jumps at the chance. The catch? The distillery belongs to the Shepherds, Georgia royalty whose golden boy is the one man she never got over: Camden. Surviving this job means not just surviving him—the boy who was always too good for her—but also facing her unshakable belief that her dodgy upbringing means she will never be good enough, period. Between an all-male team, Cam’s father watching her every move, and his friends showing her exactly what a catch he is, Shay has never felt more inadequate. But with Cam’s help, her campaign turns into something monumental—right along with an attraction neither of them ever outran. Just when Shay thinks her dreams are actualizing, the Shepherds remind her exactly whose world she’s living in. Cam refuses to let her go again, but Shay isn’t sure she’s worth what it will cost him to keep her. So much for having a plan. Sweet Like Honey is a small-town, second-chance romance perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lucy Score.
