Can the most awkward 'Meet Cute' lead to something real? When Selah Moreno's father unexpectedly dies, she abandons her dream job as an airline pilot to helm her family's struggling hot air balloon business. While piloting is in Selah's blood, the pressure of being everyone's rock leaves little room to breathe. It's no wonder she gets caught up in the daydream of flirting with a handsome potential client...until she finds out he's booking a proposal flight. Smith Rock park ranger Dex Westerly wants to take his relationship to the next level, but nothing goes right. His proposal is rejected and a rogue wind tips the basket upon landing, sending the pretty and curvaceous balloon pilot into his lap where she makes an ill-timed joke, increasing his humiliation. Months later, Dex and Selah bump into each other and bond over business struggles. Dex proposes a marketing partnership to promote her balloon tours while raising funds for the park's new wildlife rescue program. Sparks fly between them, and when a promotional social media post goes viral, they're pushed into a pretend whirlwind romance that starts to feel too close to love.
