Description

Lena Carter thought taking a job at Sullivan's Table would be just another chance to start over. What she didn't expect was Mara Sullivan—the intense, brilliant head chef whose talent in the kitchen is matched only by the walls she's built around her heart.

Between the rush of dinner service and the heat of the kitchen, Lena and Mara navigate a growing attraction neither can ignore. But fear, past heartbreak, and the pressures of running a restaurant threaten to keep them apart. As boundaries blur and emotions rise, Lena must summon courage, and Mara must confront the scars that have kept her from love.

With passion simmering beneath the surface and small moments of connection serving as their guide, they learn that love, like cooking, requires patience, honesty, and intention. Will they risk everything for a chance at happiness—or let fear dictate the course of their hearts?

The Chef and the Waitress is a slow-burn lesbian romance filled with heart, tension, and a journey of trust, redemption, and love that's carefully plated—and worth every bite.
