The last thing Glory Mann wants is to become chairman of the Miss Peach Pageant in Sugar, Georgia. Spending months hearing nothing but the clinking of pearls and judgment No thank you! But when Glory is forced to take the rap for a scandal she didn't commit, the judge sentences her to head the committee. Even worse, her co-chairman is rugged, ripped . . . and barely knows she's alive.
Single dad Cal McGraw can't take any more drama in his life. After a difficult divorce, his little girl became a boy-crazy teenager and his hands are full. The last thing he needs is to spend his down time with the town bad girl. Glory is pure trouble-tempting and tantalizing trouble. But he can't deny the strong chemistry between them-or how her touch turns him inside out. Now as squabbles threaten to blow up the contest and the town of Sugar itself, Cal must risk everything on the sexy wild card to get a second chance at love . . ."A can't miss read with small town sweetness, endearing characters and a unique quirky flair."
--Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author on Sugar's Twice as Sweet

"4 stars! Just as sexy and full of sassy humor as [Sugar's Twice as Sweet], Sugar on Top is a tasty treat. The characters are likable and fun, and the romance is hard fought for with a satisfying conclusion."--RT Book Reviews
