She swore she'd never let him win. She didn't expect to let him in. Chef Nadia Reyes built her restaurant with burnt fingers and borrowed money. She doesn't need a Michelin star to know her food is good. But she wants it anyway, because some doors only open when the right people finally pay attention. Chef Dominic Hale already has the attention. The press quotes. The investors. The kind of quiet confidence that makes you want to knock something out of his hand just to see if he'd react. He once called her cooking sentimental in print. She hasn't forgotten. When a high-profile charity dinner forces them into the same kitchen, Nadia tells herself it's just one night. She can be professional. She can ignore the way he notices things he's not supposed to notice, or the way a single compliment from him lands different from everyone else's. She can't. They fall fast and stupid and real. And then Nadia finds out what Dominic knew before she did, and the thing between them cracks open in a way that food and fire can't fix. Some recipes take years to get right. Some you burn the first time and never try again. And some you keep going back to, even when you know better.
