Solange Estoria enters the aviation world with bright eyes, loud stories, and an infectious energy that lights up even the darkest skies. But she quickly learns that joining a seasoned private crew isn't as glamorous as she imagined. They shut her out. They don't talk to her. They treat her like she's temporary.
Especially Kael Hale-the overprotective, stoic pilot who has flown the same family for years and refuses to accept change.
Sol tries to shrink herself to fit in.
Kael pretends not to notice.
Until he does.
Slowly, quietly, Kael starts watching her. Protecting her. Guiding her through unfamiliar cities, grabbing her head when she isn't paying attention, becoming her silent shadow in every layover. She asks why he never talks. He wants to tell her he'd rather listen to her voice forever.
What begins as indifference becomes habit.
Habit becomes attachment.
Attachment becomes something he can't control.
Everything breaks open on a snowy night in Colorado, when Kael's jealousy exposes the truth neither of them is ready for. A slammed door, an unspoken confession, and the one moment he stops resisting her-
-becomes the moment neither of them can walk away from.
But falling for your crewmate risks the job.
And loving someone you work with risks the heart.
Still...
Kael would follow Sol in any sky.
Because somewhere between airports and time zones, she became the only place that ever felt like home.
