Title: Welcome to Sugartown
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Contemporary New Adult
Release Date: November 3, 2013
Ana Belle never wanted anything more than to hang up her apron, jump on her Vespa and ride off into the sunset, leaving Sugartown in the dust.
Elijah Cade never wanted anything more than a hot meal, a side of hot arse and a soft place to lay his head at night where he could forget about his past.
But you know what they say about wanting: you always want what you can’t have.
Nineteen year-old virgin Ana is about to discover that’s not quite true because a six foot three, hotter than hell, tattooed, Aussie sex god just rode into town. He’s had a taste of her pie and he wants more– no really, Ana bakes pies for a living, get your mind out of the gutter.
She’d be willing to hand over everything tied up in a big red bow, there’s just one problem; Elijah has secrets dirtier than last week’s underwear. Secrets that won’t just break Ana’s heart, but put her life at risk, too. When those secrets come to light, their relationship is pushed to breaking point.
Add to that a psychotic nympho best friend, an overbearing father, a cuter than humanly possible kid brother, a wanton womanizing cousin, the ex from hell and more pies than you could poke a ... err ... stick ... at.
And you thought small towns were boring.

Ana comes bolting around the corner,
skidding to a halt in front of me, though not fast enough to avoid slipping
through the spilled milk. Her legs go out from beneath her and we collide and
go down in a tangle of limbs. The breath rushes out of my lungs as I take the
brunt of our fall.
She leans back to see my face and there’s
the most beautiful pink blush in her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, are you okay?”
“You Belles pack a punch, you know that?” I
feel my lips tug up at the corners.
Ana laughs. “Just be thankful it wasn’t my
dad that ran into you.”
“Well, I can tell you right now, you
wouldn’t have your hands on my arse
like you do my daughter’s.” Bob appears before us as if he’s been summoned.
Like the mere mention of his name calls him up out of the darkness like that
dude from Harry Potter. I follow the
line of his gaze and, whaddya you know, my hands are on Ana’s arse, holding her in position as she’s splayed on top
of me.
“What the f**k, Ana?”
Sam laughs and starts jumping up and down
in the milk puddle singing, “Daddy thswore! Daddy thswore!”
Ana jumps to her feet and reaches out a
hand to help me up. I take it, but only because I like the feel of her tiny
hand engulfed in mine.
“Son?” Bob looks like he’s going to have a
stroke right there in the middle of the grocery store.
“Dad …” Ana warns.
“I thought I made myself clear?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Wait, what do you mean you made yourself
clear?” Ana glances between the two of us. At least I think she does. My mind
is too focused on the 170-plus kg of pissed off dad in front of me to lay eyes
on her and know for sure. “Dad?”
“Dad? Dad? Dad? Dad?” Sam parrots over and
over again.
“That’s enough, Sammy!” Bob and Ana yell
above him.
“Oh my god. You totally warned him off of
me, didn’t you?” I do risk a glance at her this time. Her gaze is cutting and
her jaw is set. She’s incredibly hot and also kinda scary, not gonna lie. Bob
at least has the decency to look sheepish.
“Maybe I should just let you guys—”
She whirls on me and scary takes on a whole
new meaning. “Elijah, do not move a muscle.”
I hold my hands up in surrender and thank
Christ she turns her fury back onto her old man. “I can’t believe you are still
trying to pull this crap.”
“Elijah and I had an understanding—”
“No. Just no! I am nineteen-years-old, Dad.
You do not get to tell me who I can and can’t date. And you especially don’t
get to ward off the only guy in town who might be interested.” She accentuates
each word which a finger jab to his chest and his big biker face winces with
each poke of her bony little finger.
“In fact …” She pivots toward me and I
flinch, thinking she’s about to start laying into me too, but the next thing I
know she’s smashing her lips against mine and shoving her tongue down my throat
as her soft body moulds into my hard one. I’m so startled that at first I don’t
respond, then she makes this faint little breathy moaning sound and suddenly my
hands are on her arse again like it’s a reflex.
“Hands, Kid,” Bob growls.
I raise my hands in a “look, no touching”
kind of gesture and pull away a little, but it’s clear that Ana’s not done with
me yet. She pushes her glorious rack even closer against me and I can’t help
but fist my hands in her hair.
“Daddy, why ith Ana thucking on Elijath’s
face?”
“I’m asking myself the same thing, Kid,” I
hear Bob mumble. Then a little louder, “Alright, break it up you two. You’ve
proved your point.”
