Sugar on the Edge by Sawyer Bennett is yet another masterpiece and book three in her Last Call series. 
 A new character is introduced and he is quite the mean guy. Gavin is very dark, very damaged. He's a best-selling British author that has come to Duck, NC to write and get himself away from the booze, drugs and women he was immersed way too deeply in when he was in London. He has a tragedy in his recent past but we are not privy to what that is immediately. His realtor is none other than Casey Markham and she recommends a friend that can come in and help keep his house clean while he's writing. 
 Savannah is desperate and broke and stubborn. She's cleaning houses, working her freelance photography job for the paper and part-time for a sleaze ball portrait photographer. She's reluctant to add more to her plate but realistically needs the money. When she makes the call to arrange meeting her potential new boss she's in full agreement with Casey's assessment that he's an arrogant, rude man. 
 With intense interactions the animosity turns to indifference turns to lost and then need between these two. Their entire relationship from employee/employer to lovers is intense and so well written.I couldn't put this book down and just felt for these two. The way they find the truth of each other and are able to truly bring out the best in each other was powerful. I absolutely cannot wait for more from this author and this series.
