From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros, comes a sweeping romance about the sustained power of chance encounters.

When Izzy Astor gets on a plane to go home, she isn’t expecting much. It’s the usual holiday travel: busy, crowded, stressful. Then she meets Nate Phelan—dark-haired, blue-eyed, and irresistible. Just ninety seconds after takeoff, their plane crashes into the Missouri River. Their lives—and hearts—are never the same. Nate joins the military. Izzy enters politics. Through chance meetings and fate’s pull, their story takes a dramatic turn when Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy in Afghanistan. He’ll do anything to keep her safe… and everything to win her heart.
