Book excerpt: The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game in this breezy debut romantic comedy about life--and love--30,000 feet above the ground. After ten years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone--the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for years--is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land.... But when their plane encounters mechanical problems, what should have been a quick stop at the Belize airport suddenly becomes a weekend layover. Getting stuck on a three-hour flight with her nemesis was bad enough. Being stranded with him at a luxury resort in paradise? Even with the sultry breeze and white sand to distract her, it will take all the rum punch in the country to drown out his larger-than-life presence. Yet the more time Ava spends with him under the hot Caribbean sun, the more she begins to second-guess everything she thought she knew about him...and everything she thought she wanted from her life. And all too soon, she might have to choose between keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds....

I told myself it was because we were spending so much time together--taking care of Poppy and all. But that night, I could tell she felt it, too.

At least, that's what she believes. Her last day on Earth, she ruined the life of the person she loves most--her little sister, Emmy. So when Bea awakens from a fatal car accident to find herself on an airplane headed who knows where, she's confused, to say the least. Once on the ground, Bea receives some truly harrowing news: she's in purgatory. If she ever wants to catch a flight to heaven, she'll have to help five thousand souls figure out what's keeping them from moving on. But one of Bea's first assignments is Caleb, the boy who caused her accident, and the last person Bea would ever want to send to the pearly gates. And as much as Bea would love to see Caleb suffer for dooming her to a seemingly endless future of eating bad airport food and listening to other people's problems, she can't help but notice that he's kind of cute, and sort of sweet, and that maybe, despite her best efforts, she's totally falling for him. From debut author Gabby Noone comes a darkly hilarious and heartfelt twist on the afterlife about finding second chances, first loves, and new friendships in the most unlikely places.

Book excerpt: Four weary Seattle flight attendants work an all-night flight to the fictional Central American country of Quintana. Their reward is a seventy-five hour layover nestled in the secure confines of a plush beachside resort. Instead they are swept into a political coup led by Ramirez, an environmentalist landowner who sees a window of opportunity to topple the de facto military dictator who threatens his pristine estate--if he can coerce the crew to attempt a ruse more dangerous than a leap into a jaguar's den. Meanwhile Ramirez must protect them from Heinrich, his homicidal nephew, who as a boorish passenger was made the laughing stock of the first class cabin. Heinrich seeks to literally feed the crew to the sharks to avenge the insult. When that protection is compromised, with their nemisis lying in wait, they wade into the heart of a dark jungle night to seize their only chance for survival: become the hunters instead of the hunted.
