The Paperback is Here!

Buy a copy of Crowning Achievement today! Julie Pike is out of her league—way out.

However, when strange things start to happen, contestants begin to drop out. It’s clear that someone is trying to fix the outcome of the pageant—or worse, destroy it. As the numerous pranks escalate, Julie has to keep her eyes and ears open as she tries to figure out who is behind this and why.
