For most people, turbulence is just a bump in the sky.
For Broncos winger Jesse Arthars, it's a full-blown nightmare.
After a near-miss landing shakes his confidence, Jesse's secret fear of flying becomes the one thing he can't out-train, out-run, or out-score. The club's new charter flight attendant, Avaia Lacey-smart-mouthed, stunning, and impossible to ignore-figures it out before anyone else. She handles his mid-air panic with teasing humour, gentle courage... and a spark he can't shake.
Soon the whole team notices Jesse's new calmness in the sky-and how it only shows up when Avaia's on board. Between away games, whispered conversations at 30,000 feet, and a chemistry that could set off the smoke alarm, Jesse starts to wonder if his biggest risk isn't flying-it's falling.

"What I want?" His tone lifts, sharp and dangerous. "You want to know what I fucking want?" He takes a step closer, the floor squeaking under his sneakers, his breath uneven. "I want you out of my head," he spits, the words snapping like wire. "I want you out of my goddamn head, Eloise!" The words hit me like physical blows. "You think I don't know what you're doing? You think I don't see it?" he growls, pacing in front of me like a caged animal. "You've been in my head for weeks-weeks-and I can't fucking get you out! I close my eyes and you're there. I wake up and you're there. I'm trying to work, to take care of things, to live, and you're still fucking there!" ~~~~~~~ They aren't looking for love. Not when life already feels too heavy.
