Ain't She Sweet? Sugar Beth Carey is back in Parrish, Mississippi, and nobody's throwing her a welcome-home party—mostly because she spent her teenage years being absolutely terrible to everyone in town. But fifteen years of hard knocks have humbled the former mean girl, and she's forced to face the people she hurt while trying to rebuild her life from scratch. When she crosses paths with the one person who might hate her most, sparks fly in ways neither of them expected. This is the ultimate second-chance romance about redemption, growth, and discovering that sometimes the person who challenges you most is exactly who you need.
