Captain Kol Vinter was used to staying calm under pressure. Cockpit emergencies, weather delays, irate passengers—none of it rattled the former military pilot turned airline captain. Then Noelle Nichols challenged him at Gate 73, and the woman he should’ve walked away from became the exact kind of turbulence he wanted to fly straight into.
She’d challenged me straight out of the gate, and every ounce of instinct I had wanted to meet that challenge head-on. People always have a way of chasing what’s bad for them, and I wasn’t immune.
~Captain Kol Vinter, Christmas Cancellation
About this Captain Kol Vinter quote
This Captain Kol Vinter 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 changes her course. After overhearing Noelle’s airport meltdown about canceled flights, weather delays, airline crews, and pilots, Kol should be annoyed enough to walk away. Instead, her sassy defiance and emotional chaos get under his skin. Their story blends aviation romance, pilot romance, former military pilot intensity, forced proximity, snowbound holiday chaos, one bed tension, small-town Christmas charm, and the kind of steady captain who knows when a woman needs help—even if she drives him half out of his mind.
