Room 214, San Juan - Paperback

by L. B. Gaines (Author)

She was chasing funding. He was chasing freedom. Neither expected the storm to reroute everything.

Sanaa Jordan is one pitch away from saving her wellness tech start-up. After a whirlwind trip to Antigua for her best friend's wedding, she boards a flight back to Philly, ready to return to structure, strategy, and her ever-growing to-do list.

But a hurricane brewing across the Caribbean changes everything.

Her plane is rerouted to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where a citywide hotel overflow leaves her sharing a luxury suite with Ezra Blake-a photographer from Brooklyn who just wrapped an assignment in Barbados. He's carefree. She's frazzled. He journals in ink. She bullet-points in apps.

The plan is simple coexist until the storm passes. But three days of blackout skies, slow kisses, and conversations deeper than the floodwaters prove that fate had a layover of its own in mind.

Because sometimes the most unexpected detours... lead exactly where you're meant to land.
