Lies, Love and Sugar: A Novel of Love Gone Feral by Sugar Gay Isber McMillan - Paperback

by Sugar Gay Isber McMillan (Author)

"Explosive, intimate and unflinching. A psychological drama about obsession, power and the cost of believing you can bend reality."

She built the penthouse life.
She built the jewelry empire.
She built the illusion.

And then, it cracked.

Lies, Love and Sugar is a gripping psychological drama set in Toronto's elite Yorkville district, where power, money and desire collide behind glass walls and locked doors.

This is not a murder mystery.
No detectives.
No body count.

The crime is emotional.
The fallout is public.
The damage is permanent.

When a high-achieving jewelry designer becomes entangled with a married man anchored in legacy wealth and institutional power, attraction turns strategic. The penthouse. The affair. The unraveling everyone saw coming.

Sex becomes leverage.
Status becomes currency.

But security always wins.

As the illusion fractures, she refuses to disappear quietly. Walking away would mean admitting everything was built on something that was never real.

Set against a world of private wealth, after-hours excess and high-society expectations, this novel traces the rise, collapse and reinvention of a woman who pushes too far and survives anyway.

A raw, immersive story of:
- toxic relationships
- emotional manipulation
- female ambition and power
- financial risk and collapse
- ego, control and public humiliation
- survival after betrayal

Perfect for readers of:
- psychological drama
- women's fiction with edge
- obsession and power dynamics
- character-driven literary fiction
- messy, emotionally intense relationships
- books like The Paper Palace and Gone Girl

Lies, Love and Sugar explores what happens when desire collides with status, when illusion meets structure, and when a woman learns too late that attraction is not the same as security.

No murder.
No mystery.
Just love, power and the cost of staying too long.

If you are drawn to emotionally charged fiction about ambition, betrayal and reinvention, this novel will pull you in and not let go.
