{"product_id":"book-14os","title":"Back for Seconds","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwo cups of chaos, a dash of generational trauma, and a pinch of Christmas magic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJune Alfiero is just trying to survive her first Christmas post-divorce. If growing up the only daughter of Evergreen’s boardwalk pizza king taught her anything, it’s how to eat or be eaten.\u003cbr\u003eShe’s done indulging family drama; she refuses to play games with her ex; and she definitely will not be falling for the viral vegan homecook she accidentally dragged on TikTok after one too many margaritas.\u003cbr\u003eBut when June comes face-to-face with the Adonis himself, Joey Pagano is nothing like his digital footprint. He’s patient. Earnest. Maddeningly kind. And navigating his own heartbreak.\u003cbr\u003eThe more time they spend together, sharing home-cooked meals and soft confessions,—the more June’s hardened exterior begins to melt. \u003cbr\u003eSuddenly, her small Jersey Shore town is serving up more than bittersweet nostalgia: it’s late-night kitchen experiments, flirty bickering, shared secrets, and the kind of steady companionship June had given up on. Joey doesn’t shy away from her mess—he pulls up a chair, pours a glass of wine, and asks for seconds.\u003cbr\u003eWith every boardwalk stroll and cozy, flour-dusted moment, June feels something inside her unclench. Maybe healing doesn’t have to be quiet. Maybe it can be loud, joyful, and a little chaotic—just like Evergreen at Christmas.\u003cbr\u003eBut bearing her soul to Joey means risking the kind of heartbreak she’s barely recovered from.\u003cbr\u003eWill June take a chance on the delicious magic growing between them—or close the door before Joey can knock again?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBACK FOR SECONDS is a sexy, sensory exploration of how food, sex, connection, and community can make even the darkest days shine bright with hope and love. It’s about letting yourself be seen—mess and all.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67752622129456,"sku":"BD14os","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/14os-Square-cover.jpg?v=1788886984","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-14os","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
