One seat left on a sold-out flight. Two strangers reach for it at the same time. The gate agent flips a coin.
He wins. She's furious.
Mia Anderson has a system for everything. Lists. Plans. Backup plans. Contingencies for her contingencies.
The one thing she can't plan for?
Turbulence at 30,000 feet.
Mia isn't simply nervous about flying. She's terrified. Medication before every flight, lavender oil in both hands, and white knuckles until the plane touches down terrified.
So when she reaches for the last seat on a sold-out flight to Miami and a handsome stranger reaches for it at exactly the same time, it's not just inconvenient.
It's the universe laughing at her.
Liam Hayes is a Brooklyn firefighter who saves people for a living. Cats from burning kitchens. Grandmothers from flooded basements. Strangers from collapsing staircases.
He can't help it. Taking care of people is simply who he is.
His ex called it a flaw. You care too much about everyone except me.
Then the plane hits turbulence.
Mia's carefully constructed control begins to crumble, and Liam does what he does best.
He offers to help.
Three hours. One armrest. Two complete strangers who couldn't be more different.
But somewhere between nervous laughter, unexpected confessions, and a little turbulence, Mia and Liam discover the kind of connection neither of them planned for.
Then they land in Miami.
And suddenly, the stranger who made her feel safe at 30,000 feet is standing right in front of her in the real world.
Can a connection born on a plane survive after the landing?
