A chance encounter sets an unexpected search in motion

Sasha Cruz is skilled at spotting the right person for a role, but keeps romantic relationships outside her own busy life. A work trip to Paris puts her beside a mysterious man who seems to fit her type; when they part without exchanging details, a company-wide email turns the search for her seatmate into an international effort. Sasha also recruits a detective she knew in the past, adding another relationship to the mix. The setup connects the practical business of matchmaking with the uncertainty of pursuing love, as Sasha’s search for one stranger brings a familiar figure back into view.

  • Romance readers interested in a heroine who avoids relationships while searching for a stranger she met on a flight.

Book overview

"Tia Williams is one of the very best romance writers we have. A forever auto-buy for me." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author

A New York Times, USA Today, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Bookriot, and Parade Most Anticipated Book of the Summer!

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 European flight--and the unexpected places her hunt for love leads her.

Sasha Cruz knows types. As a booked-and-busy casting agent, she's always casting--at happy hour, the grocery store, everywhere. She's all about finding the perfect person to slot into the perfect role. What she doesn't do, however, is relationships. Too much energy, not enough time.

On a flight to Paris for work, a chance encounter with her type changes everything. Sasha's seated next to a broodingly attractive mystery man, and sparks fly--but they never exchange contact information. Convinced she's lost out on her soulmate, Sasha emails her work friend for help, but accidentally writes to the entire company worldwide! The international manhunt to find Seat F begins.

Meanwhile Sasha takes matters into her own hands. She hires a smoldering detective she knew in another lifetime--who complicates matters in unforeseen (and irresistible) ways.

With a worldwide search underway, will love take flight for Sasha?
