Turbulence

Bronwyn St. Claire booked a quiet window seat and expected nothing more than a little reading. What she didn't expect was Nate Collins — remote‑working, whiskey‑loving, Hill‑Country Texan — or the incendiary spark that ignites between them at 30,000 feet. One impulsive weekend in Toronto becomes four days of reckless surrender: late‑night confessions, boundary‑pushing intimacy, and the rare comfort of two people who, for once, refuse to hide. She's a forty‑one‑year‑old writer rebuilding a life after loss. He's a forty‑three‑year‑old father navigating a peaceful divorce and co‑parenting. Their chemistry is immediate and intense, but real life — daughters, shared pasts, and the tentative presence of Nate's ex, Bex — waits beyond the hotel door. Can desire become something steadier, or will jealousy and old wounds force them apart?
