I'll Have What He's Having By Adib Khorram

In A Tasting of Fate, substitute teacher Farzan Alavi is nursing a fresh heartbreak when he stumbles into Kansas City's newest wine bar. Seated at a VIP table for one, he’s surprised to receive attentive service from David Curtis, a charismatic sommelier who mistakenly believes Farzan is a renowned food critic. What starts as a flirty, unforgettable evening culminates in a passionate one-night stand. When the mix-up is revealed, both men find the situation amusing but agree that David, focused on becoming a master sommelier, has no time for a relationship.

Their worlds collide once more when Farzan inherits his family’s bistro and David’s expertise becomes essential. They strike a deal: David will mentor Farzan on running a restaurant, and Farzan will help David prepare for his sommelier exam. As they work together, the chemistry between them reignites, complicating their agreement to keep things strictly professional.

With David planning to move cross-country after his certification and Farzan dedicated to his family’s legacy, their connection faces a crucial test. As they navigate the challenges of their burgeoning relationship, both must confront their desires and decide if their fiery connection can withstand the distance or if it’s destined to end with the expiration date. 📚❤️
