Love Delayed

A second-chance love connection for book romantics in which former college sweethearts reunite at an airport counter upon their flight cancellation, sparking a night of reflection and what could have been.

When Zamora Hill decided to follow her childhood dreams of being a chef, she didn’t know that losing the love of her life would be the price she’d have to pay. Excited about going to culinary school, things took a crazy turn with her boyfriend, Marcus, who doesn’t support her decision and calls things off, leaving Zamora not only bewildered but also heartbroken. Defeated, she moves out and moves on.

Hotel and business owner Marcus Coleman is a family man and is very close to the ones he loves. Hospitality was all he knew, being a fourth-generation hotel owner, and he did all he could to please his parents. Accustomed to making sacrifices, Marcus was blindsided by the news that his college love, Zamora, would go away for thirteen months to attend culinary school. Driven by ego, he ends their entire relationship before thinking it through.

Ten years later, as fate would have it, Zamora and Marcus are both in Las Vegas heading back to Chicago on the very same flight that gets delayed and eventually canceled. They have one night to catch up, and one night is all it takes for them to realize that they still harbor old feelings for each other.
