Sugar and Gold

NIKOLAI
My gift is unique, I call it "foresight". I easily feel other people, hear their thoughts. And it drives me crazy.
Traveling around the country, I became addicted to gambling. Thanks to the gift, I easily won.
I needed people. But I... couldn’t get close to them: the smells, colors, and thoughts filled my mind.
Leaving noisy Atlanta, I found myself in Garden City, where I met Fiona.
I saw her woven from pink light. She became the embodiment of compassion and kindness for me.
But I couldn’t read her thoughts. My visions didn’t work around her.
But what if our connection becomes unbreakable? Then they might come back to me, and Fiona will know the whole truth about me.
Will she be able to trust me?
 
FIONA
After a terrible tragedy, I dreamed of moving to Costa Rica, but it wouldn’t relieve me of my suffering.
I enjoyed taking care of the garden and keeping a wish list. There I wrote everything I wanted to try.
For example, I had never kissed a stranger in the rain. That’s how Nikolai came into my life.
Nik was so attractive, but always tense for some reason.
I wanted to open my tortured soul to him. But how could I tell about my past?
When he found out everything, I was beside myself. He lied to me that he saw the truth in his damn visions.
We had an agreement: one night, that’s all. But it seems we went too far…
 
A bestseller of romantic prose from the already beloved writer Emma Scott, who has captivated more than 400,000 Russian readers! Nik has a unique ability: he reads the thoughts of others, sees the colors of their emotions, which helps him win at gambling, but also hinders his life. Fiona has experienced a deep tragedy and dreams of a normal family. They will meet, and their world will turn upside down. But will their love become a new problem?
 
When you have foresight, you can do more than others. But Nik’s gift has become a curse: the noise in his head from the worries and doubts of the people around him. He is ready to run to the end of the world. Fiona becomes his refuge: she manages to drown out the noise of other lives and envelop Nik in the gentle beauty of her inner self, in pink light. Every moment spent with her promises him peace. But the girl has her own secrets, and when Nik confesses to her what he feels, will she be able to accept it?
 
When you love, the universe opens new doors for you. And nothing is given to a person for nothing. One day, Nik will realize: only his gift will help Fiona save herself from the heavy shocks of the past and from new difficulties in life… He just needs to trust his heart.
 
"Two people, connected forever. Two fragile souls whose lives are shattered find the strength to mend their broken hearts. It will take a pinch of wonder and some mystical foresight to save both their lives. Once again, Emma Scott delights. You can't put this book down. If you have read her previous novels, you'll appreciate the depth of this book even more." — Goodreads.com
 
The novel — another beautiful story about love, loss, grief, personal growth, survival, and self-sacrifice. The events are painful and cruel, as life sometimes is. Yet Emma Scott manages to show glimpses of hope and beauty even amidst darkness...
