Her life is up in the air -- literally…

Lanie Turner has some loose ends:
A nearly complete PhD. A job she basically enjoys. And a lifelong crush…that she's almost gotten over.
On a trip to reunite with her family in England -- and said crush, Jonah -- Lanie intends to take care of one of those items. Her favorite cousin, Gemma, is engaged…to Jonah. And they want Lanie to be both their maid of honor and best "mate" at the wedding. It's the perfect opportunity to prove the pitying gazes wrong: she's over Jonah. Really.

As Lanie commutes between New York City and London to help with wedding prep, she befriends her handsome seatmate. Dr. Ridley Aronsen -- a widower and single father -- is prickly at first, but feisty Lanie reminds him of a more carefree time in his life. And after a steamy layover in Iceland, the pair take a direct flight from seatmates to lovers. Ridley even agrees to be her plus-one for the wedding. For once, everything seems to be falling into place.

But Lanie's used to getting hurt, and Ridley finds opening up difficult. And how will a long-distance relationship even work once Lanie's back in NYC permanently? It's easy enough to let one more loose thread unravel…after all, life's problems seem tiny from thirty-five thousand feet in the air.
