"Everything you’d ever want a rom com to be.” —Hannah Grace, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Icebreaker
Catching flights . . . and feelings.
Asher Bennett thought his relationship was just fine. Until he’s unceremoniously dumped at the Boston airport ahead of The Epic Trek, the worldwide travel competition reality show. Armed with only a ticket and righteous indignation, Asher finds solace at an airport TGI Fridays. Luckily, right in front of him is a smooth-talking airline pilot ready for takeoff.
Theo Fernandez has been grounded. He’s the only pilot that has never taken a vacation and the edict has been passed down: Prove you're prioritizing work-life balance or say goodbye to your wings. Struggling to bask in his new downtime, he stumbles upon the perfect opportunity. The handsome guy at his favorite terminal eatery has a sudden opening for a partner . . . on a nationally televised reality show.
As Theo and Asher buckle up to fake date for the cameras, the undercurrents of attraction make them wonder if their on-screen chemistry hints at something bigger. But do they have the courage to leave their baggage behind for another chance at love?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pons debuts with a frothy rom-com in which strangers agree to fake-date to win a reality TV show. After Asher Bennett's self-important boyfriend dumps him in the airport on their way to compete in the 25th season of The Epic Trek, in which two-person teams travel the world completing challenges, Asher convinces a passerby, Theo Fernandez, to join his team. Theo, a workaholic pilot, has been grounded on mandatory vacation after hitting the maximum flight hours multiple months in a row. Spontaneous and charming Theo perfectly complements Asher's need for control, and the producers agree to let the men compete as long as they can make the viewers believe they're a couple. Alongside fellow competitors—including a friendly mother-daughter duo and a cutthroat pair of twins—Theo and Asher jet around the globe, failing most challenges but developing a passionate fan base. They keep their masquerade professional by agreeing not to have sex or catch feelings, but as the show goes on, breaking these self-imposed rules proves ever more tempting. Pons nails the erotic charge between his leads, and the far-flung backdrops add to the appeal. Timothy Janovksy fans will gobble this up.
