A strange encounter with a writer in his motel room.

"Sweet girls don't survive the highway. They burn." 1967. Loretta Knox runs away from her dried-up Oklahoma town with twenty-three stolen dollars, a tube of lipstick, and a dream pulled straight from the back of a glossy magazine. She's seventeen, starving for fame, and headed west-toward the glittering lie of Hollywood. But the road is long and hungry. Gas stations whisper. Motels watch. Men offer rides with hands that linger too long. And what Loretta doesn't yet know is that beauty isn't power-it's bait. Each ride brings her closer to the sun-bleached rot of L.A., where the cameras flash, but the contracts cut deep. And behind the studio doors and velvet parties, something darker waits: a secret hidden inside a modeling empire, a trail of vanished girls, and a choice Loretta can't outrun. A sultry, slow-burn noir thriller about survival, seduction, and the cost of wanting to be seen. 🔞 Burnt Sugar contains mature themes, including sexual situations, emotional trauma, manipulation, and substance use. Recommended for readers 17+.
