    Summary

    Meg realized that the woman seemed very familiar. She had glasses and shorter hair, but otherwise looked very much like Meg herself; indeed, almost identical. "Hello, who are you?" Meg asked.

    "Margaret Murry O'Keefe."

    Meg blinked. The woman also had her voice. She said slowly, "That's... a bold claim. Who do you think I am?"

    "Margaret Murry O'Keefe, of course!"

    Summary

    The small coastal nation of Askazer-Shivadlakia is about to celebrate the coronation of a new king. Between coronation preparations and his father insisting it's past time to find a husband, Crown Prince Gregory has his hands full. He thought it would be safe to outsource hiring a caterer for the banquet to his trusted assistant, Alanna, but a miscommunication means that rather than hiring an elegant professional chef for the occasion she's hired Eddie Rambler, the loud American host of a TV show about greasy spoons.

    As it turns out, Eddie's also a great cook, and he's thrilled to learn everything there is to know about the country as he prepares menus and befriends the staff. He even charms Gregory via late-night fish fries, afternoon picnics, and his terrifying specialty, the Trash Tower. It doesn't hurt that he's handsome...and openly attracted to the crown prince.

    It can't be more than a fling, they both agree. But Eddie's falling for the country as much as for its incoming king, and Gregory is beginning to wish the perfect King Consort in his head looked a little more like tacky beach-bum influencer Eddie Rambler, floral shirt and all.

    Summary

    “Are you kidding me?” Daisy said. “Seriously, Phil?”

    Phil sighed. “I thought my howling wasteland of a love life was giving you a crisis.”

    “Well yeah, but I didn’t mean you should just go out with the first weirdo that asks,” she said. “That guy’s such a douche.”

    “I think he’s having trouble readjusting to civilian life,” Phil said. “It takes some people a while to get used to the relative lack of structure."
