Delicious: A Second Slice: An LGBTQ+ Charity Anthology

Love, laughter, unexpected chemistry, and delicious food come together in Delicious: A Second Slice, a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance anthology featuring eleven original short stories by twelve authors. This collection brings together a diverse group of romantic pairings and settings, including welcoming pubs, lively food businesses, celebrity chefs, and everyday encounters that turn into something more. From a chance meeting to a complicated workplace attraction, each story offers its own characters, romantic dynamic, and emotional journey. The anthology includes stories such as Charlie Novak’s Breakfast Sandwiches, Lee Blair’s Ripe for Romance, Beck Grey’s Oh, Snap!, and Rhys Everly’s Saving Throws & Cinnamon Rolls. Other contributions explore brother’s-best-friend relationships, second chances, small-town connections, hurt/comfort, and unexpected romantic possibilities. Food provides a common thread throughout the collection, but the stories are ultimately about connection: discovering attraction, finding acceptance, overcoming emotional obstacles, and allowing someone new into your life. Readers can expect contemporary settings, varied relationship dynamics, romantic chemistry, humor, emotional moments, and adult romantic content. Beyond its entertainment value, the anthology has a charitable purpose. Proceeds are designated for two UK LGBTQ+ organizations: Black Trans Alliance and Galop, supporting communities through advocacy and services. This collection is particularly suited to adult readers who enjoy M/M and LGBTQ+ contemporary romance, multi-author anthologies, food-themed storytelling, diverse characters, and short romantic reads. It is also an appealing choice for readers who want their romance reading to support LGBTQ+ charitable causes.
