Everyone Loves a Hero

The whole world loves him. He loves only her.
Cole Langston believes things happen in threes. So far, he's landed an airliner in a blizzard after his captain had a heart attack and revived the captain, catapulting himself to national hero status as "Captain Incredible." Life is finally returning to normal for Cole when he's punched unconscious in airport store by a bully who doesn't appreciate Cole's interference in his diatribe against the saleswoman. When Cole comes to and finds the saleswoman gazing down at him, he experiences the oddest jolt when the lovely young woman touches him. It happened so quickly! Olivia Robison is working a routine shift at an airport store when a man in her line punches the pilot behind him, sending the pilot sprawling into a Washington Nationals display. And when she touches the injured pilot, a jolt of electricity takes her by surprise. After he's carted away by paramedics, she learns he's "Captain Incredible," the pilot who landed a plane in a blizzard and then saved the life of the stricken captain. She expects to never see him again...
Until he comes looking for her a couple of weeks later, when he's back to work and intent on finding the woman who's haunted him since that memorable first meeting. Cole and Olivia's long-distance relationship is full of soaring highs and crushing lows as his fame has women throwing themselves at him everywhere they go. Will the unrelenting attention be too much for Olivia to handle or can she trust the dashing pilot who is her first love? And when the third thing happens, as it always does, will it be the end for them or an opportunity for a new beginning?
