An unlikely case

A sweeping novel about the enduring power of unlikely encounters, from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.

Izzy Astor doesn't have the best expectations when she boards a plane back home. It's the typical holiday travel experience: hustle and bustle, chaos, and stress.

Then she sees the man sitting next to her, who's far beyond her expectations. Nate Phelan has dark hair, blue eyes, and a delightfully defined charm that Izzy can't resist. The connection between them is undeniable. Izzy was never one to believe in destiny, but now she does.

Just ninety seconds after takeoff, the plane crashes into the Missouri River.

Their lives change. They change. Nate pursues a military career while Izzy finds her way into politics. Despite a few unlikely encounters over the years, the timing never seems right for them to actually pursue a relationship.

But a high-stakes reunion awaits them in Afghanistan, where Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy's life.

He'll do anything to keep her safe. And anything to win her heart.
