Until Our Hearts Collide by Nate Wilder

He’s the small-town chef who cooks from the heart. She’s the culinary princess trained in the finest kitchens of France. One month in wine country will change everything.

Alex Midnight has poured everything into Harbor & Ash, the restaurant he runs with his brother in Dark River. When a wealthy investor offers to bankroll his dream Seattle location, there’s one catch: spend a month in Napa Valley helping the investor’s daughter launch her pop-up kitchen.

Isabelle Beaumont is culinary royalty—French-trained, destined to take over her father’s Michelin-starred empire in New York. But in Napa, away from her father’s shadow, she finally has a chance to prove she’s more than a nepotism hire. She doesn’t need some rustic Pacific Northwest chef questioning her techniques—or making her question everything she thought she wanted.

Working side by side, their opposite approaches to food and life should clash. Instead, the chemistry is undeniable. What starts as rivalry becomes an attraction impossible to ignore. But her father demands she return to New York and expects Alex in Seattle, and walking away from what they’ve built in Napa is getting harder by the day.

Now they must choose: the paths laid out for them, or risk everything for a love and a life they’re creating together.

Until Our Hearts Collide is the fifth installment in The Midnight Men series, perfect for readers who love opposites-attract romance, culinary passion, and choosing love over expectations.
