About This Book
What happens when the player everyone loves to hate meets the one woman who refuses to play along? Mile High pairs a Chicago hockey bad boy with a flight attendant who isn't impressed by his reputation or his charm — and the tension that builds at 30,000 feet is exactly as combustible as that sounds. This is a slow-burn romance built on banter, rivalry, and two people who keep circling each other long after they should have landed. The emotional stakes creep up on you quietly, and by the time you realize how invested you are, there's no putting it down.
Liz Tomforde writes with a voice that feels effortless — sharp and funny when it needs to be, genuinely tender when it earns it. The dual perspective structure lets readers live inside both heads, which makes the will-they-won't-they far more satisfying than it has any right to be. At over 600 pages, Mile High earns its length; scenes accumulate weight rather than padding. It's the kind of romance that rewards patience, delivering a payoff that actually lands.
