On Nami's thirtieth birthday, she's reminded at every turn that her life isn't what she'd planned. She's always excelled at…
everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she's fighting off jealousy. Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami's old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he's planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who'll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it's not just her company that's in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well'A complete joy: funny, charming, heartwarming and insightful' PAIGE TOON'Delicious romcom and a genre I personally call autistic-uplit meet in…
a perfect match. I loved this book' GAIL SCHIMMEL'Sparkling and sincere, Love at First Flight perfectly encapsulates what romance readers love most about the genre: that everyone deserves the joy and beauty of falling in love. What a gem!' THERESE BEHARRIEThings 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. After four months of only speaking over intercom, when air-traffic controller Pippa Edwards 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. In fact . . . 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 about to make Pippa question everything she thought she wanted. . .Love funny, romantic stories?
