Lila Wright never expected to flee her dress fitting covered in a cloud of lace—let alone land in a first-class seat next to the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen. With mascara-streaked cheeks, a shattered heart, and no plan beyond “anywhere but here,” she spills her secrets to the stranger with the sharp jawline and stormy eyes. She expects a little sympathy. She doesn’t expect a two-week, all-expenses-paid escape on his dime. Dean Harrington isn’t just any passenger. He’s a man with a heart locked up tighter than his family’s luxury yacht empire. The reclusive billionaire isn’t in the mood for small talk—until the runaway bride beside him turns out to be as intriguing as she is unfiltered. She’s beautiful, chaotic, and clearly a flight risk. But somehow, she puts him at ease. That is, until they land—and he discovers he’s now the full-time guardian of his niece and nephew. By a twist of fate, Lila’s no longer just a fleeting encounter—she’s the nanny he hires from a small-town agency. And he’s her brooding, infuriatingly hot boss. Forced under one roof in his bayside home, a temporary arrangement soon spirals into something far more complicated. Between sizzling tension and curious kids who want their uncle to be happy, Lila and Dean are on a collision course with feelings neither saw coming. But sometimes love shows up uninvited—35,000 feet in the air. This steamy small-town romance delivers billionaire angst, nanny sweetness, and a slow-burn love story full of heat, heart, and unexpected happily-ever-afters.

She wasn’t looking for a way out. He wasn’t looking for anyone at all. Especially not his brother’s ex. But sometimes, love finds you right where you land. After years of living under the weight of her stage name, Ivy Quinn needs a break—from the spotlight, the noise, and the expectations of everyone but herself. A broken-down car on a backroad in Coral Bell Cove, Virginia, wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was the gruff, steady-handed cowboy who shows up when her world feels like it’s falling apart—the same cowboy who happens to be her ex’s older brother. Rowan Wright is perfectly content with his quiet life on the farm. He’s built a routine that works—sunrise chores, family dinners, and keeping his distance from anything that might stir up the past. But when Ivy shows up in town with more baggage than luggage and no idea how to slow down, she disrupts everything… and somehow, it feels like exactly what he needs. But Ivy’s world isn’t built for small towns and open fields. And Rowan’s not sure his heart can take the spotlight—or the whispers about falling for the woman his brother once claimed. When the fame threatens to catch up to her again, Ivy has to decide if she’s ready to stop running… and Rowan has to believe he’s worth being chosen. A heart-tugging, slow-burn romance about love that grows where you least expect it—and a place that just might feel like home.
