We’d end up together, night after night, seeing who could drive the other insane with want. But we were still just friends, you know, with benefits.
Then he dropped the “L” bomb, told me he loved me, and I ran…all the way to New York.
I don’t know what he’s doing now, probably already married with a kid on the way.
I’m where I thought wanted to be, with all the celebs and debs and money—so much money. But I don’t fit in. I feel pathetic, watching them, longing for what I can’t have.
I miss home; the quiet and my friends. I’ve learned a lot since I’ve been here. I’ve learned that I didn’t always like him.
I loved him.

Acknowledgements
I first must thank Lavinia Collins (awesome author, check her out!) Her character, Nimue, in her Guinevere Trilogy, was a quiet girl who no one suspected of being the puppeteer pulling the strings of all the powerful men. I wanted to create a modern version in Vivienne. (Keep reading the series, it will make more sense.)
I also want to thank the entire INFJ community on Pintrest, and in particular, Elle X. You have no idea how much your pin boards have changed my life. We share our wisdom quietly.
A huge thank you to The Beta Babes (Chrissy, Lindsey, Margaux, Catherine and Amy) who have been reading through rough drafts of the entire series since last year and still have more to go. A special thank you to Chrissy Hooker, Editorial Goddess, for her patience and advice on storylines and life. Alex Stargazer (another great author, check him out), the only other member of my writer’s gang (which still needs a gang sign). Thanks for taking this wild, self-pub ride with me.
For being the mentor I never dreamed I could have, thank you to Whitney Gracia Williams (yeah, I’m dropping big names now. I know her!) You are so patient!! All your marketing advice did not fall on deaf ears.
Finally, and most important, TY to the three amazing, sweet, funny, kewl, geeky men I live with. You are the reason for everything I do, Doug, Beau and Cole. I love you!
About the Author
Karen Gordon is an indie author who loves supporting strong and sexy women in fiction and in real life.
Born and raised in St. Charles, Missouri, she found her love of extraordinary stories about ordinary places by finding excitement in mundane suburbia. Although she currently writes romance and chick lit, you never know what she might do next. (You'll never find a woman-hating, bad-boy hero though.)
She currently lives with the loves of her life, three very cool geeky men and one perfect puppy, just outside of Memphis, TN.
