Overview

One ruined friendship. One summer wedding. One chance to make things right.

Julie and Zoe were inseparable in their Brussels college days – until Julie suddenly ended things without explanation. Ten years later, Zoe has become a celebrated chef in London, while Julie has built a quiet life in Belgium. Neither expected to see the other again.

But a mutual friend’s wedding brings them face-to-face, and being near Zoe again stirs everything Julie thought she’d buried. From late-night conversations to stolen moments amid the chaos of the celebration, tensions rise, wine flows, and emotions neither can ignore start to take over.

As the weekend unfolds, both women are forced to confront what they’ve been avoiding for years. Secrets, unspoken desires, and second chances collide, leaving them to decide whether to take a leap of faith – or walk away from the love they never stopped feeling.

Once Bitten, Twice Fried is a slow-burn, second-chance romance for fans of Clare Lydon and Clare Ashton – full of longing, humor, and the thrill of finally risking it all for love.
