Nazish Ali has no time for relationships, casual or otherwise.
Yasir Ahmed has better things in life to do than indulge his sister’s whims and fancies.
A fledgling cloud kitchen, a dependent mother and her annoying family keep Nazish busy, juggling her responsibilities like a clown on a unicycle. Meanwhile, Yasir has never noticed Nazish until now, when he’s bullied by his sister into helping her best friend in her struggling business.
The unlikely partnership leads to late-night rendezvous in the kitchen and bike rides in the rain which spark deliciously inappropriate feelings between them. And then it’s not just nihari that’s bubbling over in her kitchen but emotions and desire too and Nazish and Yasir find themselves at crossroads.
Will Nazish find the strength to defy her family’s expectations for the only man who makes her heart race? Will Yasir realise the true depth of his feelings before it’s too late before life takes them down a path that leads far, far away from each other?
A Taste of Midnight is Book 2 in the Reluctant Romances series.

What readers are saying
★★★★★
“he second book in the reluctant romances series, set amongst the residents of Starville Towers, the story of Nazish, an entrepreneur a loyal friend and daughter, with Yasir, her long time crush, best friend's brother and all around serious fellow. It's sweet to watch how her crush turns to love and how Yasir finds his own feelings gradually. There's a healthy dose of ???????????? in the romance at just the right amounts and well rounded characters who feel as familiar as your next door friends!”
