A Fighting Chance (Knockout Series)

Two professional chefs sharing one kitchen is already a recipe for disaster—but when those two chefs spent their entire culinary school careers trying to outshine each other, it's practically a catastrophe waiting to happen.
When Tatum Elliott, daughter of America's most celebrated chef, arrives at the Hawthorne family's small-town farm and event center to run the catering kitchen, the last person she expects to find next door is her old rival. Yet there he is—infuriatingly competent, annoyingly attractive, and completely convinced she doesn't belong in his beloved corner of rural life.
For him, this farm is everything. His farm-to-table restaurant is his legacy, his passion, his home. For Tatum, it's supposed to be a fresh start—not a front-row seat to every mistake she's ever made. And definitely not a reminder of why she once found her competition so ridiculously hard to ignore.
The problem? Their old sparring dynamic is every bit as electric as it was back in school. Stolen ingredients, competing menus, and pointed commentary about each other's technique keep the tension simmering—right alongside something far more dangerous than professional rivalry.
She belongs in a big city with her famous last name on a marquee. He belongs exactly where he is. But chemistry this undeniable doesn't care much about logistics.
Sweet, funny, and absolutely irresistible, *How to Kiss Your Enemy* proves that sometimes the person who drives you the most crazy is the one worth keeping.
