Maia Mitchell's always loved the skies; the only thing to come close to that devotion is her love - first a preteen crush, later a deeper passion - for Bradley Bradshaw. Then Maverick's choice to delay Bradley's entrance into the navy damages their bond irreparably. Suddenly, Maia has to chart a path alone.
When a chance meeting sees her reconnect with Bradley after over a decade, her life's course alters yet again. This time, much like the skies when she flies, fate's in her hands. But moulding your fate isn't nearly as easy as flying. Will Maia and Bradley's burgeoning love find a way regardless?
