Wings of the Heart by Sherry Aab Ch 1
Sometimes love isn’t about where you land…but who catches you on the way down.
***
One clumsy fall in LAX and my life shifts midair.
He catches me—this gorgeous, maddeningly calm Australian with an accent that short-circuits my brain: "Whoa, we want you on the plane, not under it." He says with a smile that should be illegal.
I laugh it off...nervously.
Then I board my flight to Sydney… and realize that he’s flying the plane.
I’m traveling halfway across the world to adopt a little girl named Dorothy.
He’s raising his daughter alone after losing his wife, balancing bedtime stories with international long-haul trips.
We talk mid-flight, at the upstairs bar no one tells you exists.
And something starts to spark—quietly, impossibly—before we even touch the ground.
In Sydney, our paths keep crossing..
But I’m a nurse with a life in Connecticut.
He’s a pilot grounded in Australia.
And this time, love might not be enough to close the distance.

Brooding Heart by Sherry Aab
Alejandro doesn’t smile when I check in. He just hands me my key like I’m a problem he didn’t ask for.
I try to brush it off, but something about his quiet intensity sets me on edge—and not in a bad way.
He’s brooding, yet gorgeous, and completely uninterested in making small talk with the upbeat, recently divorced woman crashing his perfectly controlled resort.
Enters Rachel, my best friend-slash-human hurricane, who signs us up for every resort activity known to man. Suddenly I’m stuck paddleboarding next to Alejandro, hiking behind him, and making awkward eye contact over morning pilates.
He surprises me. He listens when I talk. He remembers little things.
I should’ve known I was in trouble the second he took my hand under the stars and said my laugh reminded him that life keeps going.
He still wears his wedding ring. And I’m flying home in three days.
So tell me, how on earth do I walk away now?
