Romances

Because closeness is not meant to be explained, but felt.

Airplane Mode & Heartfelt Matter

Lina Sommer just wanted one thing: three weeks of time off. No drama, no obligations – and especially no men with hazel-brown eyes, who smell too good and have charming smiles. But fate – or the questionable seat assignment by the airline – had other plans: none other than Jonas Berger, the man whose boarding pass she “just happened” to find at the gate, ends up sitting next to her on the flight to Mallorca. And even though Lina has switched to emotional flight mode, suddenly there’s more chemistry than during a lightning strike over the Mediterranean. Amid turbulence, too-hot coffee, and conversations about trust, letting go, and life outside of plans, Lina realizes: sometimes you need to take a flight into the unknown to land exactly where you belong. A light summer love story filled with heart, humor, and enough caffeine to help you rise above yourself.

The Female Translators

"In translation, as in love, the most profound truths lie in the spaces between words." When two translators from different worlds collide, their greatest challenge becomes deciphering what exists beyond language.

As they navigate their cultural and personal differences, unexpected connections begin to form. Behind their professional friction simmers an undeniable attraction.
