Spotlight and Giveaway: Winging It with You

We're in the thick of Pride Month 🌈 and are pleased to celebrate the publication of Chip Pons's debut novel, Winging It with You! The story sounds like a lot of fun (especially since it starts off with mozzarella sticks...you can't go wrong there) and we're here for it. Thanks to Putnam, we have TWO copies to give away!

Catching flights . . . and feelings

Asher Bennett thought his relationship was just fine. Until he’s unceremoniously dumped at the Boston airport ahead of the world-wide travel competition reality show, The Epic Trek. Armed with only a ticket and righteous indignation, Asher finds the closest solace he can: a mimosa and mozzarella sticks combo at an airport TGI Fridays. Still, Asher is determined to find a new partner and luckily, right in front of him is a smooth-talking airline pilot ready for takeoff.

Theo Fernandez has been grounded. He’s the only pilot that has never taken a vacation and the edict has been passed down: prove you're prioritizing a work-life balance or say goodbye to your wings. As he struggles to bask in his new downtime, without reconnecting with his family, he stumbles upon the perfect opportunity. The handsome guy who "stole" his mozzarella sticks at his favorite terminal eatery has a sudden opening for a partner . . . on a nationally televised reality show.

Theo and Asher buckle up to fake date for the cameras, but as they do the undercurrents of attraction make them wonder if their on-screen chemistry hints at something bigger. Do they have the courage to leave behind their baggage, and wing it together for another chance at love? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

"Winging It with You is all about taking chances on the heart—and seeing them pay off in glorious technicolor. Asher and Theo’s chemistry is off the charts from their first moment on the page, and watching them trek through their unexpected love story was a pure delight." 
—Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Fake Mate

"Chip Pons writes with such heart and honesty—it’s impossible not to fall in love with his characters. His stories pulse with emotion, leaving you thinking about them long after you’ve turned the last page. Chip Pons is the fresh voice in romance we’ve needed!" 
—Sarah Adams, New York Times bestselling author of Beg, Borrow, or Steal

"I was immediately hooked by this fun and fresh take on fake dating. Winging It with You delivers on its super clever premise with a well-crafted story and engaging main characters who face big obstacles, both physical and emotional. If you’re looking for a sexy, entertaining rom-com, this is your next escape." 
—Sidney Karger, author of Best Men and The Bump

Chip Pons grew up in a small lake town in Northern Michigan before eventually traveling the world as a photojournalist in the US Air Force, where he met and worked alongside his dream of a husband and better half. He’s spent his entire life swooning over the love stories filling up his shelves until one day, he was brave—or delusional—enough to write his own.

He currently lives in the heart of Washington, DC. and when he is not writing or chasing his pup, Margot, around, he can be found daydreaming of untold happily ever afters or on Bookstagram shouting about the books he loves. And snacking, like, all the time. (Bio courtesy of Chip's website.)
