Official synopsis Publisher
The Appetizer
Katie has lofty career aspirations that seem to change almost hourly: writer, film director, teacher, educational psychiatrist. In the meantime, she’s waiting tables and waiting for “Mr. Right” to arrive out of the blue — which seems unlikely, considering her romantic track record is as pitiful as her job history.
The Main Course
Still, a girl can dream, even when she’s rushing a hot plate of linguini over to the nasty customer at table six. So when gorgeous, sensitive, perfect Dan Crichton asks her out, Katie’s over the moon. But once again, commitment phobia rears its ugly head and dinner turns into the Great First Date Disaster — and Katie’s ideal romance is over before the goodnight kiss.
The Just Desserts
Things are tough when a woman wants it all and will not settle — and has a little trouble making up her mind. But it’s about to get really complicated for the Queen of Complications.
The Bill
Not only is Dan coming back — as her new boss and engaged to someone else — but persistent Ex-Boyfriend #3 Hugh’s back too, with a vengeance. And suddenly there’s a lot more on her tray than even the most able food service professional could safely handle …
