Sugarlake was Emily McIntire’s debut series, published across 2020 and 2021. Set in a small town, the four books each follow a different couple dealing with second chances, hidden feelings, and the kind of personal baggage that makes romance interesting. Beneath the Stars, the first book, is a second-chance romance between childhood friends separated by years of distance.

The series includes Beneath the Stars, Beneath the Stands, Beneath the Hood, and Beneath the Surface. McIntire wrote these before moving into the darker territory that made her famous with the Never After series, so the tone here is lighter and more grounded. The Sugarlake books were re-released after McIntire’s later success brought new readers looking for her earlier work. If you enjoy small-town romance with emotional depth and characters who have real history together, this is a solid starting point for her catalog.
