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.
