As the bakery takes shape, Lucy and Duffy discover the spark that pulled them together so many years ago. In need of a fresh start, Lucy asks Duffy to put his cabinet-building skills to use, transforming the town's meat shop into a bake shop. Only Duffy can tell she’s hiding something. After all, no one knew what a relentless, soul-grinding trudge marriage to Wayne had been. Wayne had always been a cheapskate, so it comes as no surprise when he suffers a fatal accident while fixing his own truck.Įven as her family and friends invade Lucy’s life and insist that the new widow is too fragile to do much beyond weeping, Lucy is ashamed to admit that life without Wayne is easier, less complicated. Fear of rejection and his own romantic complications prevented Duffy from confessing his true feelings in high school, so he stood by and watched her wed Wayne Bowman right after high school. Lucy Bowman would never have guessed that her best friend, Duffy McCready (of McCready’s Bait Shop & Funeral Home) has been in love with her since they were kids. A young widow returns to Lake Sackett, Georgia to face the ghosts of her past-and decide if she’s ready to take another chance on love-in the third sparkling Southern Eclectic novel that “goes down as easy as honey on a deep-fried Twinkie” ( Library Journal, on Sweet Tea and Sympathy).
