Sugar Sweet and Whiskey Sour

Ruby never planned to return to Lancaster (England), but when her aunt suddenly falls into a coma, she has little choice. Aunty Ann's Bakery can't afford to close during the busiest point of the year, not with Christmas fast approaching. Despite barely being able to make brownies by herself, Ruby has to step in and take her aunt's place.

She's surprised when several customers are people she knows from high school. Spending time with her old friends (& teenage crush) isn't something she expected to enjoy, but despite the awkward moments, it soon becomes the season's highlight.

Erica is now an aerial and pole fitness instructor and Ruby gets roped into beginner's classes, stepping outside her comfort zone and learning more than new moves. Ridley is funnier than she ever realised. And Will... Will Justice looks even better in his 30's than she ever thought possible. Between visiting Blackpool, baking, and the pub, her social life seems to be going well.

Though something isn't right. After a bizarre egg attack, smashed windows, and a supposed family member returning, Ruby finds herself potentially trapped in a strange conspiracy. Especially as her aunt still hasn't woken and no one knows why.
