The Sugar Palace transports readers to the vibrant streets of Sydney in 1925, where dreams and danger intertwine. Grace Fairweather is a determined young woman with a passion for creating delectable confections. When she encounters the charming and irresistible Londoner Alfie Sweeting, her ambitions of one day running her own confectionery shop seem within reach. With Alfie's encouragement, Grace's homemade sweets start to find an eager market, and together they embark on the exciting journey of establishing the Sugar Palace, a fairytale sweetshop that captivates the city's sweet-toothed populace.

But as the shop flourishes, a shadow from Alfie's past emerges, threatening to unravel their sweet dream. Alfie's history of criminal activities comes to light, placing both their business and their lives in jeopardy. With their newfound success hanging in the balance, Grace is thrust into a world far removed from the sugary delights of her kitchen.

Grace now faces an impossible decision. In a city rife with corruption and deceit, who can she trust to help save the Sugar Palace? As she struggles to keep her dream alive, Grace must summon all her courage and ingenuity. The choices she makes will determine not only the fate of her beloved sweetshop but also the future she and Alfie might share.
