A Crash. A Country. A Love That Refused to Let Go. When Mae Grant, a seasoned survivalist trainer from rural Alabama, touches down in Guyana to launch a cross-Caribbean wilderness initiative, she's ready for anything—except the plane crash that changes everything. Waking up in the jungle with a broken arm, no exit plan, and a bush pilot she barely knows, Mae must rely on her instincts, her grit... and Zayn Persaud. Zayn never planned to play hero. At thirty, he's built a life of comfort and freedom—flying clients, dodging commitment, and keeping one foot in the clouds. But when his routine flight turns into a fight for survival, Zayn discovers a different kind of strength. One born not from control, but care. What begins in the wild slowly grows into something tender. During recovery in his parents' Georgetown home, Mae and Zayn forge a bond rooted in trust, banter, and a slowly unfolding intimacy neither of them saw coming. But healing isn't a straight line—and when Mae's work calls her back to Los Angeles, the distance between them becomes more than just miles. Will love be one more thing they survived—or the reason they return? Perfect for fans of: ? Slow-burn romance with survival stakes and second chances ?
