Until Our Hearts Collide: An Opposites Attract, Rivals-to-Lovers Romance (The Midnight Men Book 5)

When a gruff Pacific Northwest chef and a French-trained culinary princess are forced to share a kitchen in Napa Valley, the only thing hotter than the rivalry between them is the undeniable heat neither can ignore.

Alex Midnight has built Harbor & Ash from the ground up in the small town of Dark River, cooking honest food that feeds souls rather than egos. When a billionaire investor dangles funding for Alex's dream Seattle location, the price is steep — spend one month in wine country helping the man's daughter launch her pop-up kitchen. One month. He can survive anything for one month.

Isabelle Beaumont has trained under the finest chefs in France and carries the weight of her father's Michelin-starred empire on her perfectly poised shoulders. Napa is her chance to step out of his shadow and prove she's earned every accolade on her own terms. What she doesn't need is some sun-worn, perpetually scowling chef from a restaurant she's never heard of telling her that her techniques are overcomplicated.

What she really doesn't need is to start suspecting he might be right.

As summer ripens across the vineyards and their culinary philosophies clash and collide, Alex and Isabelle discover that opposites don't just attract — they transform each other. But when the month ends, so does their arrangement, and two people building lives in opposite directions will have to decide whether a future together is worth the risk.

Some recipes can't be unlearned.
