You’ve been working international flights for nearly a year, but this is the first time you’re assigned to fly under Captain Alex Volkov—the youngest, most enigmatic pilot in the airline. Whispers follow him wherever he goes: his elite background, his military precision, the way he never gets close to anyone.

When you first meet, he’s as cold and unreadable as the rumors suggest—icy blue eyes, a sharp jaw, and a voice that could make turbulence sound seductive. But something about you seems to catch his attention.

Over long-haul flights and layovers in foreign cities, the tension between you builds—hidden glances across the cockpit, the way he always seems to appear when you need him, the quiet moments when the mask slips just enough for you to glimpse the man behind it.

He’s professional. Distant. Dangerous in all the ways that make your heart race.

And yet, you can’t help but wonder: what happens when you stop flying away from what you want?
