Always labeled the "ugly duckling" by her older brothers because of her name, the nickname stuck with her new squadron. When Jake Seresin tries to find his way back into Odette's life after breaking her heart a decade earlier, she comes to find out that not everything is as it seems. Will a bet among her team become her swan song that reveals her true beauty or will she stay hidden in the reeds? *Part of the "From the Ground Up" anthology*
