Tiramisu for Two

May 2026 979-8-9959297-0-3DESCRIPTION:
A museum curator, a pregnant sous-chef, a BNB owner, a Spanish hotelier, a novelist, a marketing consultant, and a social media influencer walk into an Italian restaurant for tiramisu that changes their lives.
This is the magic of pastry chef Meg Lyons, reluctantly hired by the restaurant's owner and head chef Nick Conti after he loses a dare. And that's when the magic happens. His business soars. A millionaire makes him an offer he can't refuse. He and his brothers become famous. Friends and family find love in unexpected ways.
Like tiramisu, this book has separate layers full of distinct ingredients. Unique voices tell their stories and find love while the history of two star-crossed and sun-kissed artists runs through it like espresso.
It's garnished with humor, YouTube videos, TikTok weddings, a daring rescue, and a magical New Year's celebration. Throughout it all, Nick fights his feelings for Meg. It'll take more than tiramisu to make him see she's perfect for him.
EXCERPT:
Margherita House on Magazine spoke to her the first time she ate there several years ago. Its antipasto and main dishes were sublime. They were the perfect blend of traditional Florentine dishes and Creole flair, a reflection of Nick’s heritage as a third-generation Florentine born in New Orleans. But the restaurant also desperately needed a better dessert menu. And that’s where she came in.
“I’m sorry to tell you this, but after they finish their Bistecca, they decline all offers for dessert or espresso, pay their bill, and out the door they go.”
“And how do you know this?”
“I come here a lot. I bring friends because I love your entrées, and I get them hooked. My best friend is a museum curator, and she brings donors and trustees here frequently. Plus, my father, who demands perfection in every meal, likes to eat here when he visits.”
“That doesn’t exactly make your case that people are knocking over chairs in a rush to get out of my restaurant.”
