Two chili peppers: Closed door, steamy build, some profanity.

When PR consultant Harper Cooper walks into a damage-control briefing for Major Hugh “Hollywood” Woodrow, she’s prepared to manage a crisis, not fall into one. Hugh is the Air Force’s golden boy test pilot, fresh off a tabloid scandal that’s eclipsed the launch of America’s most advanced fighter jet. Harper’s job? Rehabilitate his image at the Paris Air Show. What she doesn’t expect is a media frenzy that makes them look like aviation’s newest power couple or the only way to fix it—a carefully staged PR romance.

Lean into the optics. Control the narrative. Break up quietly when they’re back in California. Simple.

Except nothing about Hugh Woodrow is simple.

Crammed into a Paris hotel room barely bigger than a cockpit, Harper discovers the maddening truth: the reckless flyboy she thought she’d be managing quotes Shakespeare, dotes on his sisters, and is gentlemanly enough to offer to sleep on the floor. And the more their fake relationship convinces the world, the harder it becomes to remember it isn’t real.

Because Hugh is the kind of confident, take-charge charmer Harper has spent her life building walls against. And soon the pretending starts to feel more like something Harper’s careful, rule-bound heart can’t survive.

LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT is a fake-dating, opposites-attract military rom-com with moderate spice featuring a commanding fighter pilot, a control-freak PR consultant, and one Parisian hotel room too small for the two of them. Perfect for fans of Top Gun and Emily in Paris.
