The Kismet Duet
Crashed Into My Kismet - Book 1
MAYA
I was supposed to be doing my job.
One flight.
One destination.
Then I would return home to my husband and the life I’d built in Dubai.
Instead, our plane went down.
Stranded on an island with no way to contact the outside world, surrounded by death and fighting to keep the remaining survivors alive, I don’t have time to fall apart.
As the senior surviving crew member, everyone is looking to me for answers I don’t have.
And then there’s Ryan Newman.
The infuriating passenger I pulled from the wreckage.
The man who challenges me, protects me,
and somehow sees through every wall I put between us.
I love my husband.
I know where I belong.
So why does surviving become easier whenever Ryan is beside me?
And why does the thought of never seeing him again hurt
almost as much as the thought of never making it home?
RYAN
I boarded that flight thinking about business.
I woke up on an island with an injured ankle, a burning aircraft behind me,
and Maya Balani refusing to let me die.
She saves my life.
Then she does it again.
Maya is stubborn, selfless, maddeningly brave—and completely unavailable.
The wedding ring on her finger should be enough to keep
every thought about her firmly where it belongs.
It isn’t.
Every day we spend fighting to survive makes it harder to ignore
whatever is growing between us.
If rescue comes, she goes back to her husband, and I go back to Boston.
Separate lives. Separate worlds.
That should be what I want.
So why does the thought of leaving Maya behind feel
like losing something I was never supposed to have?
The island gave them every reason to hold on.
Rescue will give them every reason to let go.

Finding My Kismet - Book 2
MAYA
I thought surviving the crash would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do.
I was wrong.
A year and a half later, my marriage is over.
I'm flying again.
And I've learned how to live with the memories of the island—and the man I left behind.
Ryan Newman was never supposed to matter.
He was a passenger.
A survivor.
The man who stood beside me through four impossible days
and somehow became the one person I couldn't forget.
But we went our separate ways, and I convinced myself that was where our story ended.
Until I walk onto a flight to Boston and find him sitting in First Class.
One look at those familiar sapphire-blue eyes,
and every feeling I buried comes rushing back.
Ryan wants answers.
I want to remember why staying away from him was the right thing to do.
Because the last time Ryan Newman crashed into my life, everything changed.
I'm not sure I'll survive it happening twice.
RYAN
Five hundred and forty-six days.
That's how long it's been since I last saw Maya.
Not that I was counting.
I tried to move on.
Tried to convince myself that loving a woman I could
never have was something I'd eventually get over.
I didn't.
Then she walks onto my flight.
The woman who saved my life.
The woman I never stopped thinking about.
The woman I had every reason to leave alone.
Except now there's no wedding ring on her finger.
This time, I'm not walking away without knowing why.
But finding Maya again is only the beginning.
Someone is watching her.
Someone who knows things they shouldn't.
And as the life she fought so hard to rebuild begins unravelling around her,
every instinct I have tells me to protect her.
There's only one problem.
Maya doesn't need me to save her.
She needs me to stand beside her while she saves herself.
But when the past threatens to destroy everything we've found,
will she finally choose a future with me?
Fate brought them together twice.
This time, love will have to fight to keep them together.
