Naomi Mercer has built a life around feeding everyone but herself. Behind the safety of her catering trays and kitchen counters, she hides from the taste of her own dreams—until a chance offer pulls her into the spotlight of a new restaurant and into the orbit of Cal Hartman, a chef whose calm precision masks a hunger of his own.

What begins as professional friction quickly simmers into something impossible to ignore. Naomi’s food is fearless, bold, and alive—everything she’s afraid to be. Cal sees it before she does, and soon their late nights in the kitchen turn into something that feels dangerously like trust. But success brings scrutiny, and the whispers of favoritism and betrayal threaten to undo everything they’ve built.

As the restaurant’s reputation grows, Naomi must decide if she can finally take up space—in her kitchen, in her career, and in Cal’s life—without apology. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the real recipe they’re perfecting is one that calls for honesty, vulnerability, and the courage to serve themselves as much as they serve others.

Second Serving is a slow-burn, contemporary BBW romance set in the heat of an ambitious restaurant kitchen. Told with wit, warmth, and heart-stopping tenderness, it’s about rediscovering self-worth, finding love without shrinking, and learning that joy, appetite, and ambition are meant to be savored—not suppressed.

Perfect for readers who crave slow-burn tension, food-centered love stories, and fiercely human characters who fall not because they’re fixed, but because they’re finally seen.
