Cleared for Love

Cleared for Love follows Lila Jean Matthews, a flight attendant who has spent years living among the clouds, moving from city to city and keeping her heart carefully guarded after losing the last member of her family. Independence has become her shield—until she meets James Hyunwoo Le, a ramp agent whose life is built around routine, responsibility, and caring for others. From their first encounter, Lila unsettles everything James thought he wanted, but building something real means navigating demanding schedules, stolen moments, and Lila’s deep fear of letting anyone in. No spice readers who enjoy airport romance, strangers-to-lovers dynamics, and stories about found family and healing will likely enjoy this book. It offers a love story about two people from different worlds learning to trust, stay grounded, and discover that home might not be a place at all—but the person waiting when you land. Content Warning: This book contains explicit language, references to a car accident, grief related to family loss, off-page parental death, type 1 diabetes, dangerously high and low blood sugar, hospitalization due to chronic illness, and fade-to-black romance / innuendos.
