A 2024 Lambda Literary Award Finalist

One of the 50 Best Romance Novels to Read Right Now by Time

“Urgent and intimate.” —The 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 Chef’s Kiss.

When Luna O’Shea is unceremoniously fired from her frustrating office job, she tries to count her blessings: she’s a proud trans woman who has plenty of friends, a wonderful roommate, and a good life in New York City. But blessings don’t pay the bills.

Enter Jean-Pierre, a laissez-faire trans man and the heir to a huge culinary empire—which he’ll 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 play…for the right price. She’s 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 doesn’t even know how to crack an egg, but she’s not going to let that—or any pesky feelings for Jean-Pierre—stop her.

Another swoon-worthy and heartwarming queer love story from a charming new voice in romance.

What the critics say

"...everything about this audiobook is delightful, including Nicky Endres’s narration. They create wonderfully unique voices for the two trans protagonists. John-Pierre’s French intonations somehow capture his charm, cluelessness, loneliness, and quirky humor all at once. Luna, who’s just been fired from her job and is ready for something new and fabulous, sounds exactly like she should—confident, a bit sarcastic, and passionate about food. This exuberant romp is full of trans joy (and lots of cheese)."

Loved this book! The story was so cute but didn’t shy away from tough moments but instead embraced them to show great character development. The voice acting was brilliant too!

Great voice acting and an adorable story!
