Turbulence

Bronwyn St. Claire boards a late-afternoon flight from Austin to Toronto craving nothing more than a quiet seat and her romance novel. Instead she finds Nate Collins—a whiskey-loving, remote-working Texan with a slow grin and a habit of turning ordinary moments electric. At 30,000 feet a spark ignites, and by the time they land, both are walking toward something neither expected.

What was supposed to be a polite weekend diversion explodes into four days of candid confessions, stolen nights, and daring intimacy. Bronwyn, forty-one and piecing her life back together after loss, discovers in Nate, forty-three and navigating co-parenting and divorce, a surprising refuge: someone who meets her honesty with his own. Their chemistry is immediate, incandescent—comforting and combustible all at once.

But the real world presses in: a daughter who needs a steady hand, histories that won’t disappear, and Nate’s ex, Bex, whose presence complicates every choice. Can this fierce, fragile connection survive jealousy, old wounds, and the practicalities of family? Or will the weekend’s heat cool into regret?

Turbulence is a tender, roaring story about second chances, the messiness of real love, and two imperfect people daring to risk everything for what might be true.
