Stuck With You

Some people come into your life through a door. Ethan Carse came through a flight delay. Nadia Voss is not a woman who leaves things to chance. She plans, she executes, she wins. So when her flight to Seattle is grounded for six hours at Gate 14, she does what any reasonable, focused, entirely-in-control woman does — she claims the last available outlet, opens her laptop, and gets to work. What she does not plan for is the man in the expensive suit who says, with the calm certainty of someone accustomed to getting what he wants: "That outlet's taken." It wasn't. She doesn't move. He doesn't leave. And somewhere between the argument that follows, the dinner they shouldn't have shared, the hotel room neither of them planned, and the rules they both agreed to and neither of them kept — something happens that no itinerary could have predicted and no cancellation policy could undo. Stuck With You is the story of two people who met at the worst possible moment, in the best possible way. Of rules made to be broken. Of corridors four years long and ferry crossings that change everything. Of the version of yourself you only show strangers — until they aren't strangers anymore. It is a story about what happens when the flight you didn't want to take lands you exactly where you were always supposed to be. Some delays, it turns out, are not delays at all. They are arrivals.
