What if you got what might be your last chance at both love and success at the same time – and getting one meant giving up the other? 

Charlotte “Sugar” Kane hasn’t produced a hit TV series in so long her last one‘s now on Nick at Nite, so when her kids grew up and the last guy in her life moved out she left L.A.  for New York, where a woman over 40 doesn’t have to file an environmental impact statement to go out in public.

But since the network green lighted her new show, Sugar’s back in Hollywood, older, wiser, and ready to prove she can still deliver a hit - unless her young, clever and manipulative assistant doesn’t manage to steal it away. Then Sugar is struck by a crisis that threatens everything she holds dear – her career, her health, and the unconditional love she’s finally, unexpectedly found, long after she stopped hoping she ever would.  

Sugar Kane, the irreverent, intriguing narrator of this funny, smart, resonant novel about love, sex, work, money, family and friendship, marks the return to fiction of Jane Adams (www.janeadams.com), a best-selling self help writer whose last novel was published the same year Sugar won her first Emmy.
