Setting: Contemporary San Francisco
Sensuality: 6

Successful entrepreneur Alex Carrigan's life's neatly organized and centered on building his company. But fate drops a group of bombshells when his eccentric grandfather appears on his doorstep to move together with him, the sudden death of his ex-wife leaves him which has a precocious 12-year-old daughter he's convinced he didn't sire, and delightful redhead Faith Christopher walks into his life.

Faith has her very own pair of problems. She's experienced emotional limbo since the death of her fiancé many years before, and the ties to his family are growing increasingly troublesome. She's wondering if she should give in to family pressure and marry the 2nd son when Alex wanders into her bakery trying to find his grandfather. The physical connection she feels with Alex is instantaneous and mutual, making her question whether a relationship depending on companionship is wise and even possible.

Meanwhile, Alex's grandfather posseses an agenda of his own. Fifty-six years earlier, he'd fallen in love, broken some ancient Indian pottery, and brought a curse on himself with his fantastic heirs. He's convinced he must locate his lost love, return the pottery to the hiding place, and lift the curse, a strategy Alex has heard many times before as well as doesn't need to get involved in. But Faith is intrigued from the elderly gentleman's tale and agrees to assist him. Little does she determine what life-changing forces happen to be set in motion by her decision.

Can a woman who wants commitment find happiness using a man who doesn't believe in love? Will Alex be able to accept that does not only is Faith everything he wants but in addition everything he needs? If Alex and Faith don't help his grandfather solve the more than half-century-long mystery, will the curse doom both lovers and the people they love? And think about the child he doesn't believe is his but who needs him so desperately? It's a pleasure to read Freethy's answers to these questions and more, thanks to her charming writing style and expert plotting in The Sweetest Thing.--Lois Faye Dyer
