Book Description
Based on the true World War II stories of America's first female military pilots, this historic novel follows the story of a young woman from a dirt-poor farm family. Sally Ketchum has little chance of bettering her life until a mysterious barnstormer named Tex teaches her to fly and to dare to love. But when Tex dies in a freak accident, Sally must make her own way in the world. She enrolls in the U.S. military's Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program at a special school known as Avenger, where she learns to fly the biggest, fastest, meanest planes. She also reluctantly becomes involved with Beau Bayard, a flight instructor and aspiring writer who seems to offer her everything she could want. Despite her obvious mastery of flying, many members of the military are unable to accept that a “skirt” has any place in a cockpit. Soon Sally finds herself struggling against a high-powered Washington lawyer that wants to close down Avenger once and for all.

Book Description
Perfect for fans of Laura Ruby, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Mindy McGinnis, Kyrie McCauley’s stunning YA debut is a powerful story about the haunting specter of domestic violence and the rebellious forces of sisterhood and first love. Winner of the William C. Morris Award! Tens of thousands of crows invading Auburn, Pennsylvania, is a problem for everyone in town except seventeen-year-old Leighton Barnes. For Leighton, it’s no stranger than her house, which inexplicably repairs itself every time her father loses his temper and breaks things. Leighton doesn’t have time for the crows—it’s her senior year, and acceptance to her dream college is finally within reach. But grabbing that lifeline means abandoning her sisters, a choice she’s not ready to face. With her father’s rage worsening and the town in chaos over the crows, Leighton allows herself a chance at happiness with Liam, her charming classmate, even though falling in love feels like a revolutionary act. Balancing school, dating, and survival under the shadow of sixty thousand feathered wings starts to feel almost comfortable, but Leighton knows that this fragile equilibrium can only last so long before it shatters.

Book Description
I've spent years as the dragons' plaything; something to be tortured, experimented on, and used in the worst of ways. But my salvation comes in the form of three identical faces, betraying their own kind. They'll gamble their lives committing treason to hide me, but I'll risk everything to keep them safe. Yet no matter how far I run, I can't truly escape. Something's changing, and the triplets are the key. I'll be their ruin if stay, but they'll be mine if I don't leave. I have to run, and once I start, I can never stop. In a world where monsters don't fear the light, there's nowhere left to hide. Contains: *Overprotective triplets *Prank wars *Men that adore her *Multi POV This is a humorous, HFN standalone, 18+ RH dragon shifter romance with darker themes. (PLEASE see note at bottom) Both books in this universe are HFN standalones that can be read independently, though to appreciate all of the cameo references, you may want to start with Forged from the Ashes. This means that I will wrap things up with our main characters' story, but leave an opening into bigger world problems. This book is more romance focused, and it's just not their job to fix the whole world. PLEASE NOTE: This book is meant to be a tale of finding your inner strength and healing, to learn how to laugh again after being trapped in the darkness for so long. While I would love for you to read my work, I encourage you to read the warning at the beginning of the book. (None of the traumatic events are described in detail, but they ARE referenced.)
