To the world, Kleina Sarmiento-Arguelles was living the dream: a successful Emirates flight purser, married to business tycoon Lance Arguelles, and the face of effortless perfection. But behind every luxury layover and Instagram-perfect smile, there was a restlessness she couldn't name.
Then came Flight EK398-Dubai to Bali.
Assigned to the same roster was Captain Hajaira "Haj" Velasquez, a newly minted second officer with calm eyes and quiet command. Haj wasn't supposed to matter. It was just a flight. Just a layover.
Until it wasn't.
What begins as emotional turbulence turns into something undeniable.
One flight.
One woman.
One choice that could ground everything... or set her free.
Welcome aboard Cruising Altitude: Flight EK398-where hearts take off, and not everything is on autopilot.

Fractures [Sayid Jarrah]
What happens when the plane goes down-and you survive the impossible? When Oceanic Flight 815 crashes on a remote island, Valentina Shephard surfaces from the wreckage-dazed, bleeding, and searching for her brother. A psychiatrist trained to steady other people's minds, she now has to fight to keep her own from splintering. Years of living in Jack's shadow, the weight of their father's expectations, and the ghosts of a marriage she fled-none of it matters here. The island doesn't care who you were before. Thrust into chaos, Valentina does what she knows best: takes control. She grounds strangers in shock, forces order where there is none, and refuses to let fear undo her. What she doesn't expect is Sayid Jarrah-disciplined, watchful, and haunted in ways she recognizes too well. Drawn together in the wreckage, their connection is undeniable, though survival leaves little room for trust. But the island is not just wilderness-it is mystery, danger, and something that feels like destiny. As science collides with faith, and survival becomes more than just finding food and shelter, Valentina must decide: how much of herself can she hold onto... and how much was she meant to lose the moment the plane went down?
Come Fly With Me
Scott's a little in love with the new air traffic controller at DFW, as much as he can be for someone he's never seen and who isn't even the right gender for him. She's always professional, but has a sense of fun, and her voice is warm and friendly whenever she's not overstressed. And when she is, or when someone fucks up, she's sassy and sometimes snarky as hell. And okay, maybe it's not really love, but there's a definite girl crush happening, which only seems to grow the more he interacts with her. He's friendly and flirty and happily admires her from afar, and she's just as friendly in response, once she recognizes his voice. But holy shit, he lives in fear of screwing up on her watch and having all that beautiful snark turned on him.Complete

SHADOWS AND BUTTERFLIES
My name is Alexa Fernandez. I used to believe in love-the kind that feels safe, predictable, warm. That's what I had with Steven Cruz. He was perfect. Too perfect. But perfection has a way of hiding its cracks. Behind Steven's gentle smile was a darkness I never saw coming- a truth that would turn my world inside out. Then came Samantha. His cousin. His opposite. She was everything Steven wasn't-wild, unpredictable, and painfully real. With her, I felt things I shouldn't have felt. Things I tried to bury... until they consumed me. Now I'm trapped between two versions of love: One that promises safety, and one that feels like danger-but also, freedom. Because love has consequences. And sometimes, the butterflies that lead you into the light... are the same ones that guide you into the shadows. But in those shadows, I found something else- a truth that was never meant to stay hidden, and a love that refused to die quietly.
For Whenever I May Find Her
'Is that how a moth feels as it flies to the fire? She'll burn your wings, honey. Your heart will dry. Don't come any closer.' - Catherine * * * Sometimes, love at first sight wouldn't happen and no one could definitely get it right the first time. Sometimes, your first love wouldn't necessarily be your last. Then of course, in real life games, cheat codes and, ultimately, cheaters existed. Unfair? That's life. It wouldn't stop at having the one you love and marrying wasn't the happy ending but the signal of another book starting. Far from the end. New chapters. Variety of troubles that popped at every turn. Not all rainbows and butterflies. Still, with the one you love. 'And if there's love, you can do without happiness too. Even with sorrow, life is sweet.' Dostoevsky must have been on to something when he cooked that quotable quote up. However, the kind of love some were conditioned and aspired for wasn't that enduring. If it's not perfect then it's not worth fighting for. But... 'You're in love' so what's a little rain or occasional unforecasted storms here and there? Love triumphs after all. © All rights reservedComplete
