Sugar and Salt, 2023 paperback book by NY Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs

Susan Wiggs, The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost and Found Bookshop, returns to Perdita Street with a can't-miss tale of friendship, hardships, redemption, and love between a San Francisco baker and a barbecue master from Texas. Jerome Sugar learned the art of baking in his grandma's 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 isn't exactly on the run, but she needs a fresh start. She's 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's Sugar bakery is the perfect setup in a vibrant neighborhood popular with tourists and locals. Margot instantly takes to Jerome's mother, the lively, opinionated Ida. The older woman becomes a good mentor, and Margot is drawn to Jerome. Despite their different backgrounds, their attraction is powerful. But just as she starts to relax into a happy new future, Margot's past in Texas comes back to haunt her ... Excellent used condition. Bundle and save on shipping!
