Summary
She remembers everything; the sting of her mother's cruel words, the glint of a steel barrel hidden under a coat, the bitter taste of lies on her tongue. The girl remembers pressing cotton soft hands against torn flesh, tears running like they can convince the red slowly running out of the body back in. Like her grief can reshape the world. Like her grief could undo it.
But, more than that she remembers him. His callused hands, gently running through her hair, him, the flash of a needle stitching her dress when she'd ripped it in the berry bushes outside of their house. She remembers him, and she thinks of love. Elodie Moreau barely remembers much good, memories wrought only screams and terror and pain. But she remembers her brother. She misses him, has missed him for years, with an ache she feels in her soul.
Elodie is tired of only having bad things to remember. Her brother used to tell her as a child that good things come to those who wait. That her patience would be worth it. Elodie has waited for her entire life. But if her years of waiting and bleeding for it have taught her anything, its that if she wants to be happy, she needs to find it herself. And that starts with finding her brother. -

Summary
Malia Vidaurri knows how to read ocean swells before sunrise, how to keep her engineering projects from catching fire, but what she doesn't know is how she ended up married to a Formula 1 driver the morning after her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas, of all places.
(Yes, the marriage license is real. They checked.)
Now, she has a ring that could double as a paperweight and a French — no, Monegasque — husband to match. Said man in question has an arsenal of management: people with expensive-sounding accents wearing expensive-looking suits whom Malia has no choice but to trust. Besides, she may not have millions of followers, but she understands that the optics of a twenty-one-year-old F1 driver marrying a girl in Las Vegas at three in the morning are, to put it mildly, not good.
Assuming Malia doesn’t want to affect her own burgeoning popularity within the surfing world either (although, to Malia, it’s seriously not that deep), the team proposes a solution: don’t get an annulment right away, and in the meantime, act like enamored newlyweds in public.
It's safe to say that what happens in Vegas absolutely does not stay in Vegas.
