Not Your Girl

It was a normal morning flight back home—normal, that is, until a gorgeous stranger took the seat next to mine. Then, what was normal became the opposite of that. In six hours of conversation at thirty-five thousand feet, I saw my entire life stretch out ahead of me, and every part of it looked like her.

But when the plane landed in Boston, she disappeared without a trace, leaving me with nothing but memories of the best flight of my life, and her first name. Amelia.

For the past six months, I haven't been able to get Amelia out of my head, and I look for her on every corner of my city. I had almost given up hope that I would ever find my mystery girl, until six months later she walks into my classroom on the first day of school. Every single thing about her draws me right back into her orbit, as if no time has passed at all.

A relationship with my grad student could put my job at risk, and Amelia has her own reasons for wanting to keep me at arm's length. But when her tech brilliance and a decades-long family mystery have us spending more time together, despite all of our best intentions, the draw between us is undeniable, and our connection is impossible to resist.

With my job on the line and Amelia's secrets at risk of being revealed, nothing about us being together is easy. But with my heart already lost to her, I don't care about what is easy. I care about what is right. And I know with absolute certainty that what is right is Amelia and me. Together. Forever
