Trophy Wife

He wants the girl. She wants the gold.

Two rivals. One road trip. A jealous wound too deep to ever heal.

Mute, prideful, and constantly underestimated, Nikkos Dior has only ever been interested in winning and proving herself. Then, she meets the talented, cocky, and a little too gorgeous Arden Varick, who learns sign language just to understand her.

But when Nikk's gold medalist father, famous for coaching athletes to stardom, chooses to train Varick as a professional triathlete instead of his own daughter, any future the two best friends had together gets benched.

Nikk holds onto grudges like she holds onto her hard-earned trophies—with pride and a tight grip. Now, seven years later, Nikk is stuck on a thirty-two-hour road trip to Las Vegas with Varick, her father's favorite prodigy.

On her way to her biggest competition yet, nothing will distract her from proving everyone—who has ever underestimated her—wrong. Even if the distraction has washboard abs, a gold medal in radiating sexual charisma, and smells like blue Gatorade, grass stains, and human sunshine.

She's the woman he's always wanted to win, and he's the man she never wanted to lose to. Both of them are ready to play dirty and work up a sweat to get what they want. But Varick needs to remember one thing.

Nikkos Dior does not lose.
