For as long as Riley Callahan can remember, Will Smith has been a part of her life. As her twin brother's best friend, he's spent years showing up at birthday parties, bonfires, and summers at the lake house. Somewhere along the way, he became someone she never really had to think about. Until this summer. As the weeks pass, Riley finds herself seeing Will differently-and she's not the only one. But with summer coming to an end, they'll have to decide if risking their friendship is worth the chance at something more. Because some people have been right in front of you all along.

After a traumatic incident forces Avery Quinn to leave her job at a major airline, she takes a position with a private charter company hoping for something simple: quiet, routine, and a chance to feel safe again. She doesn't know anything about hockey, and she definitely doesn't expect to become a familiar face aboard the Chicago Blackhawks team plane. But somewhere between late-night flights and quiet conversations at 30,000 feet, Avery and Connor Bedard slowly become each other's safest place-right before the rest of the world starts paying attention.
