Descrição da editora
A smart, sexy romance about mistaken identities, a no-strings fling, and the way one night—and one person—can change your life forever from the bestselling author of Darius the Great Is Not Okay.
When it comes to love, substitute teacher Farzan Alavi is a disaster. Newly heartbroken—again—he’s drowning his sorrows at Kansas City’s newest wine bar. Only instead of being crowded between strangers, he’s escorted to a VIP table for one. There, the hot sommelier does more than treat him to the meal of his life. The way he flirts with Farzan ignites instant sparks.
There’s just one problem: David Curtis thinks Farzan is Kansas City’s most influential food critic. The truth only comes out after the two spend an unforgettably hot night together. Good news—both think the mix-up is hilarious. Bad news—David is studying to become a master sommelier and has no interest in a relationship.
Neither expects their paths to cross again . . . until Farzan inherits his family’s bistro. The two agree to a friends-sans-benefits exchange: David will share his industry knowledge, and Farzan will help David study. Only business turns to pleasure when neither can ignore the attraction still sizzling between them.
But with David set on moving cross-country after his test, and Farzan committed to his family’s restaurant, how can their relationship last past the expiration date?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two men pair like food and fine wine in YA author Khorram's thoroughly satisfying adult debut. Wine expert David Curtis, who is Black, hopes getting his master sommelier license will be his ticket out of Kansas City, Mo., where he feels stifled by the lack of work and dating opportunities. Then recently heartbroken Iranian American Farzan Alavi walks into Aspire, the restaurant where David works. A reservation misunderstanding means David mistakes Farzan for a restaurant critic and treats him to a flirty gourmet meal. Flattered, Farzan takes David home for some incredible sex—and then the truth comes out. They laugh it off, but both men relegate the encounter to a one-time hookup. Then Farzan's parents announce they are retiring and closing the family's Persian bistro, and Farzan, who is passionate about Persian food, buys it—and turns to David for help. David agrees to swap restaurant management tips for help studying for his sommelier test and a friends-with-benefits situationship. The men grow closer, but when David is offered a dream job in L.A., he must choose between his career and what he could have with Farzan. Khorram hits on a successful recipe that combines mouthwatering descriptions of Persian cuisine, passionate, supportive characters, and realistic—and often endearingly awkward—sex scenes. This is mouthwatering.
