Donovan leans into my ear and whispers, “I feel like I’m watching some kind of mating ritual. The fucking tension…damn.”
I nod and try not to laugh, cutting my eyes to Kai, who raises his eyebrows, equally intrigued.
“You told me a lot of things last night, Carebear,” Liam whispers, still loud enough for us to hear.
Her eyes narrow, but before she says anything, Donovan butts in. “I didn’t see you at the party last night, Caroline…when were the two of you hanging out?”
Oh shit. My girl is throwing down. I watch Caroline’s face go blank—she’s searching for an answer.
“Before you got here.” Liam smirks, breaking the trance between the two of them. “Caroline helped me with some of the decorations. Right, Carebear?”
He points a finger at Donovan to be nice as Caroline nods, then turns and clicks those damn heels the whole way as she leaves.
“Are you ever going to be nice to her?” Liam asks Donovan.
“Maybe, but only when she deserves it.”
I laugh and kiss her neck, truly enjoying this moment, because I’m still a prick. I’ve got the girl of my dreams, friends who are like brothers, a legacy I get to decide, and an Olympic future. But this very moment is the best because these two girls, Donovan and Caroline, will probably only tolerate each other until the end of time. And if what I think happened last night, did—Caroline is going to have to grovel before Donovan green-lights her archenemy dating her best friend.
Fucking karma is a bitch, Liam. And she’s named Caroline Whitmore.

It all started when…
Trilina decided 3 years ago, that between making grilled cheese sandwiches, and running carpool she was going to write saucy novels for readers to titillate and excite them. She hasn’t slowed down since. Having always had a love of writing, even as a child, she would journal and typically change the ending of whatever she was writing to suit her daydream. A knack for storytelling has translated into a career. She lives in California where she multitasks the roles of wifey, mama and author. She hopes you enjoy her words and keep coming back for more!
Read Sexy, Stay Sexy!

This book! I mean, seriously, it almost did me under, but the result is better than I could have ever hoped. These people lived inside my mind for over a year, screaming to be written and rewritten again and again until I gave them an epic love story. I hope you love them as much as I do because this will forever be my absolute favorite novel.
There are so many people to thank for this. It takes a village to give life to a book!
To my Posse—There are no words. Queens!!!! You have my undying respect and gratitude. I love all your faces and your enthusiasm and fun times!!
To my Arc-Team—Thank you for continually taking a chance on me. It means so much. I’m always bowled over by your amazing and thoughtful reviews.
Gretchen. You’re a trooper. Thanks for always being my alpha and being willing to read every book a thousand and four times. But reading this book, probably seventeen million times, has earned a place for you in heaven….take it because you weren’t getting there until now. hehehe.
My Beta’s. I’ll never tell your names because I’ll never share you. I love you so very much!
Jen, Sarah, Cat, Brittany, and everyone at Social Butterfly, I’m so lucky. You guys are the best there is. The very best. Hands down. No competition. Thank you for always filling me up with love, support, and laughs.
Michelle, Annette, and Alex. YOU GUYS!! I love you for your wisdom, giggles, and mostly because you’re always in my corner—even when I’m trying to tap out. Cass (Thelma)—you are my soul sister, and I’d never write any books if it wasn’t for our day-long plotting dates.
Sandra, Becky, and Sarah thank you for combing through my words meticulously and treating them with such care.
Regina Wamba, Regina Wamba Design, thank you. I am in love with my cover.
Stacey, Champagne Book Design, you’re always exquisite. My books are so gorgeous, always!
Sarah, Musings of the Modern Belle, your teasers are to die for, and these are my favorite!
Every single damn blogger that held it down for me, I see you. I adore you. I’m so grateful to you for taking a chance on me.
Last but certainly never least, my family! You guys are amazing and supportive and love me more than I could’ve dreamed of being loved. Special shout-out to Anthony. Georgia. Hayes. Charlie. Without these four, I wouldn’t have a purpose. I wouldn’t know how to love. It beats for them.
