Liz Tomforde’s Mile High is a contemporary novel that takes its readers on an intimate, vertiginous journey through the psychological and physical landscapes of its protagonist, Maya Alvarez. Set against the backdrop of a sprawling, ever‑expanding metropolitan city that literally climbs into the clouds, Tomforde weaves together a narrative that interrogates the modern obsession with upward mobility—both the literal ascent of skyscrapers and the metaphorical climb toward personal fulfillment. The title itself— Mile High —functions as a multi‑layered signpost, pointing simultaneously to the city’s altitude, the protagonist’s lofty ambitions, and the emotional distance between who we are and who we aspire to become.

The banter between Stevie and Zanders is sharp, witty, and filled with tension. Their initial mutual annoyance slowly transforms into undeniable chemistry.
The male protagonist, Evan Zanders, is introduced as the archetypal "bad boy" of professional hockey, known for on-ice aggression and off-ice playboy antics. However, Tomforde quickly reveals that this persona is a protective shield. Zanders’ performance of arrogance is a defense mechanism rooted in deep-seated abandonment issues; he believes that it is safer to be "hated for who you are not" than to be "unloved for who you truly are". His character arc represents a movement from performative masculinity toward emotional maturity, often facilitated by his commitment to therapy—a rare and refreshing theme in contemporary sports romance.
