Second Helpings: A queer m/m second chance cozy romance

Sam Adelson has spent over a decade pouring his heart into Silverman's Deli, the beloved Cleveland institution his family has run for seventy-five years. So when a scathing review tanks his business, Sam develops some strong feelings about the critic responsible. Fantasies involving expired clam juice may be involved. Then Jake Thompson walks through the door--Sam's first love, the one who got away. Reconnecting after twelve years feels like coming home, and having Jake around makes even the chaos of saving the deli feel manageable. But Sam's fought to move on from the disaster that tore them apart, and now pretending it never happened is becoming more impossible every day. As Sam falls harder than he ever meant to, Jake's past begins to catch up with both of them. Some recipes are worth perfecting, even when the first attempt was a disaster - Sam just hopes this one doesn't blow up in his face... Warm, funny, and delectably swoony--a second-chance romance with found family, a chaotic deli dog named Pastrami, and all the comfort-food you could ever want. Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and TJ Klune.
