The Trouble with Flying
Book 1 of the The Trouble Series series
256 pages · First published 2014
Shy Sarah plans to spend her flight home from an overseas holiday reading quietly and avoiding conversation with strangers. Her seatmate Aiden is terrified of flying and copes by talking almost nonstop, drawing Sarah into jokes, invented stories about fellow passengers, and an accidental handhold during turbulence. By landing, their unlikely connection has become strong enough for a kiss, followed immediately by separation. Sarah must then decide whether to return to the safe life already mapped out for her or pursue the stranger who made a few hours in the air feel like the beginning of something important.
