It was love at first flight . . .
Now she just has to find him


Sasha Cruz knows types. As a booked-and-busy casting agent, she’s always casting – at happy hour, the post office, the grocery store, everywhere. She’s all about finding the perfect person to slot into the perfect role. What she doesn’t do, however, are relationships.

But when Sasha’s seated next to a mysterious, broodingly handsome Italian man on the way to a work trip in Paris, sparks fly – only to miss the chance to exchange contact information. Convinced he is her soulmate, Sasha embarks on a manhunt to find Seat F.

When Sasha enlists her work friend for help in the search, she accidentally emails the entire global company, and colleagues around the world begin looking for Seat F – with some finding love along the way. Meanwhile, Sasha takes matters into her own hands, hiring a smouldering detective who complicates matters in unforeseen ways . . .

New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams returns with an intensely romantic, deliciously sexy tale about a woman searching for her handsome seatmate on a long-haul flight – and the unexpected places her hunt for love leads her.
