Hailey Baker doesn't do weddings. She doesn't do small talk, dancing in public, or flying--ever. She prefers her feet on the ground, her heart locked up, and her sarcasm sharp enough to keep everyone at arm's length. Enter Charlie Wilder. Air Force pilot. Best man with a questionable mustache. As a certified golden retriever, he barrels through life with laughter, charm, and zero chill. He's the exact type Hailey swore off--persistent, ridiculous, too handsome for his own good... and annoyingly hard to ignore. After one unforgettable kiss cut short, fate throws them back together. Charlie is determined to prove he's more than a reckless playboy, and his relentless pursuit is equal parts infuriating and irresistible. But behind his sunshine smile is a man with secrets of his own. She doesn't do love. He doesn't do serious. But the chemistry between them? That might just take off-whether Hailey's ready to fly or not.
