Description

‘Fun, sexy, and overflowing with heart. I'm #Thasher & Chip Pons's biggest fan’ - HANNAH GRACE, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ICEBREAKER

‘I can't wait for everyone to get their hands and hearts on this book’ B. K. BORISON, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LOVELIGHT FARMS SERIES

Catching flights... & feelings... has never been more complicated.

Asher Bennet thought his relationship was just fine. Until he's unceremoniously dumped at the Boston airport ahead of the worldwide travel competition reality show, The Epic Trek. Armed with only a ticket and righteous indignation, Asher finds the closest solace he can: a mimosa and mozzarella sticks combo at an airport TGI Fridays. Still, Asher is determined to find a new partner and luckily, right in front of him is a smooth-talking airline pilot ready for takeoff.

Theo Fernandez has been grounded. He's the only pilot that has never taken a vacation and the edict has been passed down: prove you're prioritising a work-life balance or say goodbye to your wings. As he struggles to bask in his new downtime, without reconnecting with his family, he stumbles upon the perfect opportunity. The handsome guy who "stole" his mozzarella sticks at his favourite terminal eatery has a sudden opening for a partner...on a nationally televised reality show.

Theo and Asher buckle up to fake date for the cameras, but as they do, the undercurrents of attraction make them wonder if their on-screen chemistry hints at something bigger. Do they have the courage to leave behind their baggage, and wing it together for another chance at love?

TROPES INCLUDE:

Fake Dating
Reality TV Romance
Forced Proximity
Strangers to Friends to Lovers
Biomedical Engineer/Pilot
Only One Bed (Every Location)
Adventure / Challenges
Mozzarella Meet Cute
Wait...Is it real?

A totally hilarious and utterly romantic travel rom-com perfect for fans of B.K. Borison and Casey McQuiston.

‘A must-read for anyone craving a funny, feel-good rom-com!’ ?????

‘If you're a sucker for fake dating, reality show chaos (think Survivor meets Fear Factor meets The Amazing Race), and charming, swoony moments, Winging It With You by Chip Pons is a must-read!’ ?????

‘I loved this book. Loved it.’ ?????

‘Theo must be protected!!’ ?????

‘LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Asher and Theo were so damn precious.’ ?????

‘Chip Pons wrote characters that feel like the most genuinely kind and real people, who you'd want to be best friends with, and are rooting for right from the beginning.’ ?????

‘Fake dating. Reality TV’

About the Author

Chip Pons grew up in a small lake town in Northern Michigan before eventually traveling the world as a military photojournalist-where he met and worked alongside his husband and better half. He currently lives in Washington, D.C. and when he is not writing or chasing around his pup, Margot, he can be found shouting about the books he loves online and daydreaming of untold happily ever afters. And snacking, like all the time.
