Salt and Spice

She built an empire on appetite. She just never fed her own.

At almost forty, Terry “Spice” Cox has just sold her spice empire for a fortune — and found that winning means nothing with no one to tell. So when Jacko calls, Terry drops everything and flies to Jacko’s sun-drenched house on Lesvos, half-ready to finally confess the love she’s hidden for nineteen years.

She arrives to find Jacko already smitten with someone else.

Resolved to settle for friendship, Terry instead meets a woman she cannot refuse — and one innocent, indulged spark is all it takes to set everything ablaze.

Salt and Spice is witty, sensual, and wise about the difference between being wanted and being chosen. It is a friends-to-lovers romance with the wit and mischief of the best romantic comedy, and the ache of something far deeper — a story for everyone who has wondered what to do with the rest of a life that arrived ahead of schedule and who has loved someone they couldn’t confess it to.

An earlier edition appeared briefly as Sugar and Spice under the name Sam Skyborne.
