Dinner For Two

A Queensbay Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Second Chances, Seaside Setting Romance Novel

From Drea Stein, Dinner for Two is the first in the Queensbay Small Town series, featuring an irresistible Enemies to Lovers, Second Chances Opposites Attract, and a Quaint Seaside Setting storyline!

She’s the hometown sweetheart with a diner to save. He’s the bad-boy chef who once broke her heart. This time, the kitchen isn’t big enough for both of them…

Darby Reese never thought she’d be back in Queensbay, let alone running her dad’s struggling seaside diner. But when her father’s health takes a turn, she trades her high-powered legal career for coffee cups, pie plates, and a to-do list longer than a bakery menu.

The last thing she needs? Sean Callahan—her ex-flame, ex-mentor, and the man who taught her exactly how much heartache can hurt. He’s got a past as messy as a flour-covered counter and a reputation for stirring up trouble.

Banished from big-city kitchens, Sean’s only shot at redemption is to turn sleepy Queensbay into a foodie paradise. Trouble is, his plans collide—loudly—with Darby’s. Now they’re battling over menus, bumping elbows in the kitchen, and discovering that some sparks never really burn out.

With every late-night baking session, every sugar-dusted truce, and every stolen taste of something sweet, Darby and Sean find themselves wondering if they might just have the right ingredients for a second chance.

Dinner for Two is a warm, witty small-town romance, perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers tension, second chances, and coastal charm—served with a side of decadent desserts, heart-melting moments, and just enough spice to keep things delicious.
