Passenger Princess

by Morgan Elizabeth

Who knew applying to be the next Miss Americana while you're drunk on tequila would actually

get anywhere? But that's exactly what happened to Ava when she wanted an excuse to promote her best friends' new businesses. She never even expected to get past the first round of auditions, much less win the beauty pageant, and now here she is, wearing a silk sash and a crown on her head, trying to picture what the next three months is going to look like. As the newly crowned Miss Americana, she's off on a three-month press tour, visiting all 50 states as part of her contract.

Jaime normally spends his days as head of security for the world-famous rock band Atlas Oaks, but when they take a break from touring, he's excited for a change of pace. Until he learns his new assignment is the gorgeous and ever-frustrating pageant princess who gets under his skin in more ways than one.

The Last Letter

by Rebecca Yarros

Beckett,

If you're reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn't. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have.

I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride.

My little sister Ella's raising the twins alone. She's too independent and won't accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It's too much for anyone to endure. It's not fair.

And here's the kicker: there's something else you don't know that's tearing her family apart. She's going to need help.

So if I'm gone, that means I can't be there for Ella. I can't help them through this. But you can. So I'm begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family.

Please don't make her go through it alone.
