Sweet Tea — Piper Huguley

Southern traditions, history, and hope come together in author Piper Huguley's heartfelt romance from Hallmark Publishing.

Althea Dailey has succeeded beyond her wildest dreams: she's about to make partner at her prestigious law firm in New York. So why doesn't she feel more excited about it? When she has to travel South for a case, she pays a long-overdue visit back home to Milford, Georgia. To her surprise, a white man she's never met has befriended her grandmother.

Jack Darwent wasn't interested in the definition of success dictated by Southern high society. His passion for cooking led him to his current project: a documentary and cookbook about authentic Southern food. Althea's grandmother is famous for her cooking at Milford College, a historically Black institution. But Althea suspects Jack of trying to steal her grandmother's recipes.

Despite Althea and Jack's first impressions of one another, they discover they have more in common than they'd guessed…and even as they learn about one another's pasts, they both see glimmers of a better future. 

This Southern small-town romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Grandma's Biscuits and Gravy.
