JoLynn Travis is living her dream hosting a regionally syndicated travel show covering attractions, big and small, throughout Texas. It's a small-time dream, but it's hers. And it's keeping her small crew--her surrogate family--together. At least until a charming new co-host comes on board with new ideas and, JoLynn suspects, plans to take her place.

After a life spent drifting, travel journalist Shane Quinlan needs to put down roots for the sake of his father's long term health care needs. Texas looks good to him, and an offer to co-host a small-time local show might give him the stability he needs for now. But the current host seems unwilling to share the spotlight or consider any fresh ideas, especially from an outsider.

The common ground they find gives way to deeper feelings. But when opportunity knocks, will Shane steal JoLynn's show, or will he steal her heart instead?All Rights Reserved

Little did she realize he would awaken emotions long suppressed. Of course, she ignored those emotions. Now, five years later, she's a widow--a destitute widow.

Wedding responsibilities have temporarily taken Ann's mind off her desperate situation. At the reception, Jackson asks her to dance again--reawakening those emotions.

Altitude of Love by Janella_NiNi

Avelyn Johnson, a flight attendant with a heart full of wanderlust and a penchant for serendipity, has her usual airport ritual: a steaming caramel macchiato from her favorite coffee shop. As she waits for her order, her attention is drawn to the man in line behind her-Fransisco de la Cruz, a charismatic and sharply dressed realtor with an air of confidence and just a hint of mystery. Their paths collide-literally-when Avelyn turns too quickly, almost causing Fransisco to spill his espresso. Apologies and embarrassed smile are exchanged, and what could have been an awkward moment or perfect chance encounter turns into... Nothing. Before they can explore the spark, the boarding call for their flights interrupts them. They part ways, believing their brief encounter was just a fleeting airport moment. Fate has other plans. As Avelyn takes her place as the second lead flight attendant in charge of the economy cabin on her next flight, she's stunned to see Fransisco seated in first class, reviewing property listings on his tablet. Equally surprised but undeniably pleased, Fransisco can't help but flash her a knowing smile as she welcomes him aboard. Over the course of the flight, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways-shared glances, moments of conversation, and an undeniable connection that grows with every interaction. By the time the plane touches down, both Avelyn and Fransisco know their meeting wasn't a mere coincidence. It was the start of something neither of them saw coming-a story of two souls finding love in the in-between moments of life, where the ground ends and the sky begins. As their lives continue to crisscross through unexpected destinations and heartfelt choices, they'll learn that love, like flight, is about taking risks, embracing the unknown, and trusting the journey.
