  This newly discovered story by literary legend Sylvia Plath stands on its own and is remarkable for its symbolic, allegorical approach to a young woman’s rebellion against convention and forceful taking control of her own life. 
  Written while Sylvia Plath was a student at Smith College in 1952, Mary Ventura and The Ninth Kingdom tells the story of a young woman’s fateful train journey. 
  Lips the color of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like “guilt, and guilt, and guilt”: these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom. 
  “But what is the ninth kingdom?” she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. “It is the kingdom of the frozen will,” comes the reply. “There is no going back.” 
  Sylvia Plath’s strange, dark tale of female agency and independence, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.

  They’ve been best friends since they were fifteen years old. He’s realized the only girl he’ll ever love is her. Will they risk their friendship for love? 
  Corey: Dawn’s been my best friend since high school, the one constant in my life, and the only woman I’ve ever been myself with. She’s also way out of my league, but I’ve realized over the last few weeks I love her. And while I don’t want to lose our friendship, no other woman will ever come close, and I’ll never be all in on a relationship while the what-if with Dawn hangs over my head. So I have to deal with the what-if. 
  Dawn: I’ve loved Corey since the ninth grade, only he’s never thought of me that way. To him I’m one of the boys, and never one of the many bleach blonde bimbos he takes home from the bar… which is fine. I resigned myself to being his best friend, and nothing more, a long time ago. But now he’s back after taking off for a few weeks—no note, no call, no text—and acting weird. Really weird. 
  Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up. 
  This is book one in a four book series. Last Stand Saloon Series: Round Up, Making Up, Cowboy Up, and Giddy Up
