After realizing her coworkers at L’Ombre, a high-profile
restaurant in NYC, will never appreciate or respect her,
Charlie Garrett allows her ex-boyfriend, Avery Michaels, to
convince her to work for him as executive pastry chef at his
new Seattle hotspot, Thrill. She’ll have her own kitchen,
her own staff—everything she ever wanted professionally. When she arrives at Thrill, however, she realizes that Avery
wanted more than a pastry chef for his restaurant—he wanted
a costar for the reality show they’re filming about the
restaurant and its staff. Charlie is uncomfortable with the
idea at first, but she soon realizes that this is her chance
to show the world what women in the kitchen are capable of.
She sets some ground rules with the film crew, signs a
non-disclosure agreement, and promptly meets the man of her
dreams, Kai, off-camera. The show, and her demanding work schedule as head of the
pastry kitchen, makes it nearly impossible for Charlie and
Kai to spend time together. Drama on and off the set soon
take a toll on Charlie’s well-being, forcing her to choose
if life in front of the camera is worth sacrificing life
behind the scenes. Sugar is a contemporary romance, set in the
high-pressure commercial kitchens of New York and Seattle. A
funny and clever story of how a female chef learns to thrive
in the ruthless world of premier restaurants.
