Noelle Nichols had spent years keeping her past packed away and her future pointed toward success. Then one canceled flight, one blizzard, and one annoyingly steady airline captain forced her to face everything she’d been outrunning—and the life she thought was ruined started looking like the only runway she had left.
“I went from a career that was on track, a boyfriend who I thought was total husband material, and a past that was neatly tucked away where it belonged…to this.” I glanced around the room, holding my hands out in a helpless gesture. “Jobless, single, hitching rides with strangers. And a past that’s now the only future I have.” I laughed bitterly. “Sometimes fate’s a little bitch.”
~Noelle Nichols, Christmas Cancellation
About this Noelle Nichols quote
This Noelle Nichols quote comes from Christmas Cancellation by Evie James, a standalone holiday pilot romance about a stranded passenger, a canceled flight, and the airline captain who helps her find a way home. Snowbound with Captain Kol Vinter in her late aunt’s Victorian house, Noelle finally admits how far off course her life has gone. What began as airport chaos becomes a forced proximity romance filled with former military pilot intensity, one bed tension, small-town Christmas charm, emotional healing, and a steady captain who knows sometimes the roughest landings lead to the right destination.
