Mile High: Windy City Series, Book 1

Every time Evan Zanders presses the flight attendant call button, Stevie tells herself it's the last time she'll let him get to her—and every time, she's wrong.

As the NHL's most notorious villain, Zanders has built an empire on his reputation: arrogant, unapologetic, and impossibly charming in the most infuriating way possible. When Stevie scores a coveted position as a flight attendant on the Chicago hockey team's private jet, she comes prepared with one ironclad rule—no athletes, ever. She's learned that lesson the hard way, and no amount of sharp jawlines or devastating smirks is going to change her mind.

Zanders, of course, has other ideas.

What starts as a battle of wills at thirty thousand feet—him deliberately summoning her for the most ridiculous requests, her serving them with a smile sharp enough to cut glass—slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. The miles rack up, the layovers grow longer, and the walls they've built around themselves start showing cracks. Beneath Zanders's carefully constructed reputation is a man who sees Stevie more clearly than anyone ever has, and beneath her cool professionalism is a woman who might actually be falling for the one person she promised herself she'd never want.

This sports romance crackles with wit, heat, and the kind of slow-burn tension that makes putting the book down feel genuinely impossible. Once you meet Evan Zanders, you'll understand exactly why Stevie never stood a chance.
