More about the book

Boarding the plane, Izzy Astor expects nothing special. It seems to be just an ordinary post-holiday return home: crowded and noisy, full of chaos. Suddenly, however, she notices a travel companion in the adjacent seat, a man who is extraordinary in every way. Nate Phelan has dark hair, blue eyes, and an abundance of raw charm that Izzy cannot resist. There is something that draws them together. And although Izzy has never believed in fate, she must now reconsider her views. Just a minute and a half after takeoff, the plane crashes into the Missouri River. Everything in their lives changes. So do they. Nate begins a career in the army while Izzy finds her place in politics. Although fate crosses their paths several times over the years, it always has poor timing. Until Izzy ends up in Afghanistan, where Nate is assigned to protect her. He will do everything to ensure her safety. And everything to win her heart.
