Sugar and Spice

Sugar & Spice is a tale of intrigue and conspiracy, a story of madness and seduction, of loyalty and
unspeakable secrets. The Johnson Family arrive in Jamaica bruised and wounded, their vast fortune torn
from them by duplicity and assassination. For Edward, growing sugar is the last roll of the dice, his lifelong
abolitionist principles cast aside through dire necessity. As their first season is threatened by a glut of
sugar, they turn to distilling rum and smuggling to avoid fast approaching disaster. The young daughter, Marigold,
strives to help her beleaguered father, aided by her one friend, a young slave boy named Solomon, a one time Prince of Yoruba.
The arrival of the handsome Lieutenant George Stanhope on the Island of Jamaica rocks
her strictly rational world. Is he the love of her life or her most deadly threat yet?
