The Missed Connection: a sexy, spicy summer romance from the bestselling author of SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE

Formats & Editions

'One of the very best romance writers we have' TAYLOR JENKINS REID

It was love at first flight . . .

Now she just has to find him

Sasha Cruz knows types. As a booked-and-busy casting agent, she's always casting-at happy hour, the grocery store, everywhere. She's all about finding the perfect person to slot into the perfect role. What she doesn't do, however, are relationships. Too much energy, not enough time.

On a flight to Paris for work, a chance encounter with her type changes everything. Sasha's seated next to a broodingly attractive mystery man, and sparks fly-but they never exchange contact information. Convinced she's lost out on her soulmate, Sasha emails her work friend for help, but accidentally writes to the entire company worldwide! The international manhunt to find Seat F begins.

Meanwhile Sasha takes matters into her own hands. She hires a smoldering detective she knew in another lifetime-who complicates matters in unforeseen (and irresistible) ways.

With a worldwide search underway, will love take flight for Sasha?

New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams returns with an intensely romantic, deliciously sexy tale about a woman searching for her handsome seatmate on a long-haul flight - and the unexpected places her hunt for love leads her.
