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.
