Acknowledgments

First and foremost, thank you so much to my Heavenly Father, who gives me strength when I have none, and heaps upon me the blessings I don’t deserve.

Thank you to my husband, Jason, who inspires delicious book boyfriends because he’s the kind of man fictional characters have a hard time living up to. Oh, and he makes me go to bed at two a.m. on deadline. Thank you to our children, who fuel me with kisses and hugs (while Dad fetches coffee), and make me believe in a better tomorrow. Thank you to my parents, who never doubted this crazy little path I chose. To my sister, Kate, who reads everything I write with no complaint and never hesitates to pick up the phone. My brothers, Doug, Matt, and Chris, who wouldn’t think twice to bury an unknown object if I needed them to.

Thank you to my editor, Karen, for knowing my voice better than I do and allowing me to send back funny, sleep-deprived notes in the margins. There’s not enough words to describe how much I freaking love you. Thank you to Jamie Bodnar Drowley, for your dedication to the Flight & Glory series, and opening that door for me! Thank you to the fabulous team at Entangled—Liz, Heather H., Heather R., Debbie, and Brittany, you ladies are simply phenomenal. Thank you to my amazing publicity team at SSFAB—Melissa, Sharon, Linda, and Jesey. You guys keep me sane, and my life wouldn’t function without you. Thank you to my incredible agent, Louise Fury—I couldn’t imagine a better copilot on this publishing journey.

Emily, 19 years, and you’re still my best friend. Let’s keep that going—it seems to work for us. Christina, Outer. Banks. Beach. House. Thank you to Lizzy Charles and Molly Lee. You girls. You’re everything and you know it. Babies, boys, and books, you two are my lifelines. Linda, my squirrel-chaser extraordinaire, thank you for keeping me grounded and as organized as you possibly can. I swear, I meant to do whatever it is I forgot. But mostly, thank you for your friendship! Mindy, Fiona, Katrina, Rachel, Cindy, Melissa, thank you for your inspiration and always spot-on advice. Corinne, Rose, Mia, Christine, Kristy, Laurelin, Claire, Lauren, EK, Whitney, Pepper, Aleatha, and Alessandre, thank you for giving me a safe place to figure out this whole writing gig. My Backspace Survivors, stop trying to make the Korean food happen. It’s not going to happen. Thank you to the bloggers who take their insanely valuable time to read, review, and share your friendship: Wolfel, Jillian, Allison, Alexis, Nadine, Lisa, Aesta, Vilma, Natasha, Mint, Marianne, Elbe, Book Baristas, and the countless others who are promoting authors: you astound me. My fabulous Epics, you guys rock my socks, and you know it. And the readers, you guys PM’ing me at eleven p.m. in tears over Ember, or laughing at something in the book group, you guys are what keeps me hunched over the keyboard. Thank you.

And lastly to my husband, again, because you know he only reads the first and last. You are my one constant, my anchor, my north star. Thank you for loving me.





About the Author

Rebecca Yarros is the author of Full Measures and Eyes Turned Skyward, a hopeless romantic, and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. A military brat by birth and a military wife by love, she’s given up on fully unpacking that last box, but always plants flowers…that inevitably die when she forgets to water them. She still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts, but she’d settle for a house in the Shire. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted a Top Military Mom Blog the last three years and celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores.

When she’s not writing, she’s chasing her six kids, tying their hockey skates, or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army-aviator husband of thirteen years, and they’re currently stationed in Upstate NY with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog, but she would always rather be home in Colorado.

Full Measures


She knew. That’s why Mom hadn’t opened the door. She knew Dad was dead. Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew, too. Her dad would never be coming home. Then Josh Walker enters her life. Hockey star, her new next-door neighbor…and endowed with the most delicious hands that have a way of erasing her pain with a single touch. But just when Ember lets him in, Josh’s secret shatters their world. And she must decide if he’s worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her world bare.





Eyes Turned Skyward


Since her sister’s death, Paisley, who shares her sister’s heart condition, is treated like glass by her parents. But nothing will stop her from completing her Bucket List—even if it kills her. And it almost does, until Jagger pulls her from the ocean and sets her soul on fire. Jagger is wickedly hot, reckless, and perfect for a girl living life to the fullest. Except Paisley is the commanding general’s daughter and her boyfriend is Jagger’s biggest rival. One wrong move, and they could crash and burn…
