Chef's Kiss
A 2024 Lambda Literary Award Finalist âUrgent and intimate.â âThe New York Times Book Review A fake dating arrangement turns to real love in this deliciously delightful queer rom-com from the author of the sweetly satisfying Chefâs Kiss. When Luna OâShea is unceremoniously fired from her frustrating office job, she tries to count her blessings: sheâs a proud trans woman who has plenty of friends, a wonderful roommate, and a good life in New York City. But blessings donât pay the bills. Enter Jean-Pierre, a laissez-faire trans man and the heir to a huge culinary empireâwhich heâll only inherit if he can jump through all the hoops his celebrity chef grandfather has placed in his path. First hoop: he needs a girlfriend, a role that Luna is happy to playâŠfor the right price. Sheâs got rent to pay, after all! Second hoop: they both need to learn how to cook a series of elaborate, world-renowned family recipes to prove that Jean-Pierre is a worthy heir. Admittedly, Luna doesnât even know how to crack an egg, but sheâs not going to let thatâor any pesky feelings for Jean-Pierreâstop her. Another swoon-worthy and heartwarming queer love story from a charming new voice in romance.
