Frequent Fliers

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 (aka her grandma’s neighbor). But this year, Lanie's favorite cousin, Gemma, has a big announcement: she’s engaged to Jonah…and the couple wants Lanie to be the maid of honor and best mate at their wedding. 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—and sadly, to check in on her ailing grandmother. Luckily for Lanie, she often has a handsome seatmate: Dr. Ridley Aronsen, who travels just as regularly as Lanie for his 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 Amsterdam convinces him otherwise, especially once Lanie invites him to be her plus-one for the wedding. Feeling more independent than ever, Lanie is emboldened to expand her life: she promises herself she’ll move on from Jonah, move away from home and go back to school to study for her dream job. After all, life’s problems seem tiny from thirty-one 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
