Synopsis

Sugar Sorenson's life has gone up in flames...Literally. Struggling to make ends meet, Sugar has invested everything into her home business of supplying Sugar's Cakes and Pastries to local Denver eateries. A friend suggests she enter a local bakeoff with a $10,000 grand prize and oodles of free publicity. The money would make a world of difference to Sugar's future. Working--and baking--night and day to perfect her business and her chances of winning, she's not prepared when the apartment oven starts a fire. Within a few hours she's got no place to live, no clothes and no business, not even a bag of flour and a measuring cup. Support arrives in the form of a Victim's Advocate social worker named Tree, a sympathetic firefighter named Charlie, and the local TV producer coordinating the bakeoff competition. She's Emily, and the first one of the trio to make a serious play for Sugar in the morning, Sugar in the evening, and Sugar in the afternoon. After nine years as a single lesbian who couldn't seem to get a heartbeat from any woman anywhere, all this attention has Sugar's head spinning. Forced to live with her ailing, homophobic grandmother, she finds it difficult to openly date any of these new women in her life. They all offer changed circumstances, stability and a hope at forever. But which one will she choose?

From the Inside Flap:

Sugar’s mind turned over the glitter and laughter of the evening, trying to sort it all out. She’d liked the attention, liked the appreciation of her work, but how much of that was party and fluff, and how much of it had been real? How much of what she was feeling for Emily was based on fleeting attraction, and how much was something more? What was "something more" anyway?

"Here they are," Emily said as she entered the lounge. "When was the last time you had a drink?"

"An hour, maybe two. Before we were dancing."

"I don’t want you to drive out there if you’re not sober." Emily had taken off her shoes, and her feet made no sound as she padded across the soft carpet to join Sugar in front of the fire.

"Alcohol isn’t why I’m feeling dizzy."

"Why, then?" Emily’s hand cupped the back of Sugar’s neck. "Is it because of this?"

The brush of Emily’s lips over her own drew a small moan out of Sugar. "Yes," she breathed, and then Emily’s lips were on hers with increasing pressure.

They stayed like that for a long while, the brush of lips mixing with smaller nips and longer kisses. Their bodies were a slow, yielding melt of hips and thighs finding the way that fit best. When Sugar filled her hands with Emily’s silky hair, it was Emily who moaned.
