Island Wings

She has a plan for everything. He flies by the seat of his pants. To save a life, they’ll have to meet in the middle, at 5,000 feet.

Dr. Clarke’s life is a spreadsheet. After a betrayal left her career in ruins, she has one last chance to redeem herself: find and study a rare, sick albino dolphin calf in the vast waters of the Florida Keys. She has the data, the grant, and a meticulously color-coded schedule. The only thing she’s missing is a pilot.

Peter has a rule: no plans, no promises, no stress. Living on his vintage Grumman Albatross seaplane, he charms tourists while he outruns a mountain of debt. When high-strung Lucy marches onto his dock, his first instinct is to fly away. until he realizes her grant money is the only thing that can save his plane from repossession.

Grounded by a storm and forced into the tight quarters of the cockpit, their oil-and-water personalities spark a friction that feels dangerously like attraction. As the deadline looms and the elusive calf weakens, they must stop fighting each other and start trusting the one variable they can’t control: their hearts.

Come back to the Keys for the fourth installment of the Tides of Key West series. This clean, swoony, opposites-attract romance features a grumpy-sunshine dynamic, forced proximity, and the healing power of a found family.
