A novelist and a football player have sex in a tiny airplane bathroom. * It sounds like a joke, but it's not. It's the beginning of our story. A story I thought would only have one chapter. I guess I used up all my good karma, which shouldn't be even remotely possible considering how I earned it, because the sexy stranger I banged in the lavatory on flight 1192 isn't a stranger after all. Turns out he's a friend of a friend, and now I have to see him around. It wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't exactly the type of guy I could fall in love with, but he is. Which has me fucked sideways, because the one thing I can't do is fall in love. * When I followed her to the bathroom on the plane, I wasn't even thinking about sex. All I was thinking about was how to make her a permanent fixture in my life. Someone upstairs must have been looking out for me, because my failed attempt at securing a second meeting was saved by the fact that she and I have a mutual friend. She's not as happy to see me as I am to see her, but that'll change soon enough. I'm going to figure out why she's so hellbent on keeping me away and when I do, I'm going to change her mind. I've never had to fight for anything and now all I want to do is fight for her. **** Harper Silva has endured more tragedy in her 27 years than most people do in their entire lives.
