In the Likely Event

by Rebecca Yarros

Overview

From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros, comes a sweeping romance about the sustained power of chance encounters.

When Izzy Astor gets on a plane to go home, she isn’t expecting much. It’s the usual holiday travel experience: busy, crowded, stressful.

Then she spots her seatmate, who is anything but ordinary. Nate Phelan sports dark hair, blue eyes, and a deliciously rugged charm that Izzy can’t resist. Their connection is undeniable. Izzy never believed in destiny before, but she does now.

Just ninety seconds after takeoff, their plane goes down in the Missouri River.

Their lives change. They change. Nate goes on to a career in the military while Izzy finds her way into politics. Despite a few chance encounters over the years, the timing never feels right.

Then comes a high-stakes reunion in Afghanistan, where Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy’s life.

He’ll do anything to keep her safe. And everything to win her heart.

Editorial Reviews

06/05/2023

Yarros (Hallowed Ground) expertly tugs at the heartstrings in this emotional military romance. Izzy Astor and Nate Phelan first meet in 2011 on a flight transporting Nate to basic training at Fort Benning and Izzy to Syracuse University. Their immediate and intense connection is cut short when their plane crashes and, after helping each other to survive, Izzy is whisked into emergency surgery and the Army comes to collect Nate. The pair unexpectedly reunite in 2021 Afghanistan, where Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy, now the aide to a visiting senator, during a fact-finding mission. Alternating between both narrators and timelines, Yarros explores the horrors of war and the aftermath of traumatic experiences. Her authentic characters feel equally strong and vulnerable, and their will-they-won’t-they hits all the right notes. A well-drawn supporting cast—especially Serena, Izzy’s photojournalist sister, and Julian, Nate’s best friend—underpins the poignant romance. Readers are sure to be moved. Agent: Louise Fury, Bent Agency. (Aug.)
