Love at First Flight

About Love at First Flight

A charming fake-dating romance for fans of Emily Henry, starring a neurodiverse air traffic controller.

Things Pippa enjoys: her job, airplanes, synonyms, and tropical fish.

Things Pippa does not enjoy: repeating patterns, tight clothes, people asking why she’s single, and school reunions.

Air-traffic controller Pippa Edwards works at a large South African airport guiding planes through landing or takeoff. She’s one of the best at her job, but when off the clock, Pippa struggles to manage interpersonal relationships and understand social cues.

After four months of only speaking over the intercom, when Pippa finally meets pilot Andrew Boyce-Jones face-to-face, they discover they’ve got much more in common than simply working at the same airport . . . they both need a date.

Tired of every relationship ending before it’s even begun, Pippa wants to evade the inevitable questions at her dreaded ten-year school reunion in Cape Town. And Andrew needs to get his well-meaning family off his back about settling down.

The solution seems simple. A pact—a fake-dating pact—for as long as it’s mutually beneficial. It’s perfect.

Or at least it would be if their very real attraction wasn’t making Pippa question everything she thought she wanted, and the ways in which she thought people saw her. Now she’s wondering if there really is someone who can accept her for who she is.
