Can an unforgettable one-night stand in London threaten a 100-year-old family legacy in Texas?

Ambitious airline pilot Margaret Hawthorne grew up shadowed by her family’s legacy, beginning with a couple Tuskegee Airmen ancestors. She adores flying but feels the weight of being the oldest. She’s poised to succeed her father, though her grandfather stands only male heirs can take the mantel of the company. When her hot English hook-up arrives and befriends her brother, Margaret is suspicious. She doesn’t believe in coincidence.

Posh corporate recruiter Lewis Watson-Grosvenor knows his meteoric rise is related to his English family’s money and connections. Starting out fresh in the states will be a way to prove himself and leave a very public break up behind. When Lewis discovers the flight-school director he’s been pursuing professionally is the brother of his memorable one-night stand, he knows he must play his cards close to his chest.

As their attraction blooms, so do the secrets and conflicts of interest. Can Margaret and Lewis find a way to trust each other between the ground and thirty-thousand feet?

After weeks of messaging, texting, and phone calls, they finally decide to meet. When they do come together, will it be as hot as their online hookups? Or will Casie revert to her normal introverted self?

TESTIMONIALS

"

I hadn't read this author's work before and didn't know what to expect, but it didn't take long to get intrigued when I started reading thanks to the humor and easygoing writing.

JESSICA T., READER

"

There are only a few contemporary romcoms that truly hold my heart-- most of the time I may really enjoy them but they become forgettable after a certain point. Not this one. This is a re-read, dog-ear, tell all your friends about kind of book.

AMANDA L., READER

"

And it has everything I’ve come to expect from her books: great food, a no-nonsense heroine, and giving me all the feels when it comes to family and friends.
