THE LAYOVER
A romantic comedy about a flight attendant who is ready to quit her job and put down roots, the arrogant yet gorgeous former pilot she locks horns with on her last trip, and an unexpected layover in Belize that makes her question everything she thought she wanted...
After ten years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one round trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone--the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for years--is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land.
But when their plane encounters mechanical problems, what should have been a quick stop in Belize suddenly becomes a weekend layover. Getting stuck on a three-hour flight with her nemesis was bad enough. Being stranded with him at a luxury resort in paradise? Even with the sultry breeze and white sand to distract her, it will take all the rum punch in the country to drown out his larger-than-life presence.
When Jack dares Ava to join him on a series of tropical excursions, she reluctantly agrees to a two-day truce. Yet the more time Ava spends with him under the hot Caribbean sun, the more she begins to second-guess everything she thought she knew about him - and everything she thought she wanted from her life. And all too soon, she might have to choose between keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds.
With its vibrant tropical setting, irresistible romance, and relatable journey of self-discovery, THE LAYOVER has all the makings of an ideal escapist summer read with conversation-worthy characters and themes. The novel will instantly appeal to the romantic comedy readership.
Like her heroine, Lacie Waldon is an active flight attendant with a great deal of travel experience under her belt. She wrote THE LAYOVER from the jump seat on her plane rides, with the intention of giving readers an authentic and entertaining glimpse behind the curtains of the airline industry. She also candidly documents her life in the sky on Twitter, where she has amassed over 41k followers.
Waldon's sparkling voice and knack for witty banter make her a welcome new addition to the romantic comedy genre. She tackles the popular enemies-to-lovers romance trope with verve and flair.
Lacie Waldon is a writer with her head in the clouds - literally. A flight attendant based in Washington, DC, she spends her days writing from the jump seat and searching the world for new stories. THE LAYOVER is her debut novel; she is at work on a second.
