Delivering the same smart voice, steamy romance, and emotional family connection as her debut Long Past Summer, Noué Kirwan's next novel is a jetsetting treat for every armchair tr aveller. From New York City, to London, to Iceland, one woman's new commute becomes a direct flight to a new lease on life and love. Perfect for fans of Bolu Babalola, Preslaysa Williams, and Jill Santopolo. Her life is up in the air—literally… Lanie Turner lives a little life. Between her job as an anonymous administrative assistant and her small circle of friends, Lanie only truly feels like herself when she travels to England on her annual vacation to reunite with her exuberant extended family—and her longtime boy-next-door crush, Jonah. But after a two-year gap, things have drastically changed: Lanie’s beloved cousin, Gemma, has a big announcement—she’s engaged to Jonah…and the couple wants Lanie to be both their maid of honor and best "mate" at the wedding. For two of her favorite people, how can Lanie say no?This turns Lanie into a frequent flier, commuting from NYC to London on a semi-regular basis to help with wedding prep. Luckily Lanie often has a handsome seatmate: Dr. Ridley Aronsen, who travels regularly for work. The two quickly realize their chemistry and plan their commutes so they can travel together. But Ridley hasn’t told Lanie that he’s a widower and a single father now—opening up to love again is harder than he realizes. A steamy layover in Iceland may convince him otherwise, especially once he agrees to be Lanie’s plus-one for the wedding.Feeling the first blush of a new love, Lanie is emboldened: she promises herself she’ll move on from Jonah and get herself together. After all, life’s problems seem tiny from thirty-five thousand feet in the air…“Noué Kirwan is a welcome, smart new voice in romantic women’s fiction.” —Jamie Beck, Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Show more
