Sugar & Steel: An M/M Grumpy/Sunshine Romance
Jace Wilder
He’s all sharp edges and silence. I’m just trying not to burn the croissants.
Luca Delgado runs on four hours of sleep, vanilla extract, and chaotic energy. As the owner of a bustling Clover Street bakery, his mornings start at 3:45 AM, accompanied only by his seventy-pound golden retriever, Mango. Luca doesn’t have time for a personal life, let alone a relationship.
Then there’s Knox.
Massive, heavily tattooed, and perpetually scowling, Knox is the kind of guy who looks like he eats nails for breakfast. But under that intimidating, steel-hard exterior is a man who speaks a quiet language of steady presence, warm touches, and midnight baking habits.
When the daily routine of a quiet neighborhood and a dropped tray of croissants throw them into close proximity, the slow-burn tension between the chaotic sunshine baker and the grumpy giant finally ignites. And Luca realizes that sometimes, the safest place to be is wrapped in the arms of the most dangerous-looking man in town.
Sugar & Steel is a sweet, steamy, and heartfelt M/M contemporary romance about finding home exactly where you least expect it.
