Honey & Sugar

Lottie Gilbert was made of honey and sugar-sweetness in the face of silence, softness where there had only been sharp edges. Raised by parents who never taught her what love felt like, she became what they weren't: kind, patient, endlessly giving. To everyone around her, she was light. But light doesn't mean untouched by shadows.

When the supernatural tears its way into her life, it didn't knock-it tore the door off its hinges.. Unseen forces stir beneath her skin-raw, ancient powers that no one can explain, not even the hidden family history she was never meant to uncover. With the weight of a quiet promise, Lottie swears to protect the people she calls family... even if it costs her everything.

Then two brothers arrive in town-storm-eyed and splintered, chaos wrapped in secrets. With them comes the unravelling. Of her town. Of her truths. Of herself.

As Lottie is pulled deeper into a world of magic, betrayal, and bloodlines that run colder than she ever imagined, the girl made of sugar will have to learn to burn. Because there's something darker in her now. Something ancient. And the only way to survive... is to stop hiding who she really is.

This is the story of Charlotte Gilbert.
And not even honey stays sweet forever.
