and went to rehab. After that, Amanda became Ryan’s sober companion, blah blah blah.
    But damn, how had Ryan Sinclair fallen for Amanda? I mean, he could have gotten any woman in the entire world and he’d gone for my half-sister? She did have Daddy’s black hair and good looks, plus some of the Legend charm, but I wasn’t convinced that big sis was all that. She wanted nothing to do with the industry.
    Plus, what was her motive for wanting all the Legend kids to become one big happy family? She had to have an angle. I mean, I didn’t need to be pals with Amanda and Sterling. They were Daddy’s other kids, the legitimate ones that Daddy had always trotted out at events. The kids that us bastards had had nothing to do with growing up. And we were the ones that Amanda and Sterling had known nothing about. At least not until Sterling reconnected with his soon-to-be-wife Rhiannon Bliss. Then the Delgado children were out of the bag.
    Ellen smiled at Amanda and Ryan as they stood in front of the photographers. I nearly gagged. “There’s Daddy.” Ellen’s voice grew softer. She and Daddy had a strange sort of relationship. Ellen looked like Daddy, but she was so different from him. She didn’t share Daddy’s need for adulation or constant stimulation. Ellen preferred a book and peace and quiet to a premiere. Maybe that was why Ellen liked Amanda. Amanda seemed to prefer the quiet life, too.
    Daddy seemed to understand those two, but he wasn’t always sure how behave around them. But I had noticed he listened to my half-sister Amanda and Ellen more than he listened to me. The things that Amanda and Ellen said seemed to carry more weight with Daddy. Once again I was a pretty face with nothing between my ears. 
    “Aren’t they adorable,” Ellen said to no one in particular as she tilted her head and smiled at Amanda and Ryan.
    I licked my bottom lip. Sandpaper lined my mouth and throat. Adorable? Why would my sister call Amanda and Ryan adorable when I was standing right here beside her? Adorable, gorgeous, amazing, those were adjectives that belonged to me. Adjectives that I needed in order to continue building my career.
    Flashes from the photogs’ cameras swept across Amanda and Ryan. Surely they had enough pictures by now. My heart did double time. Every bit of attention and adulation that was focused on them meant I was being ignored.
    “Come on.” I grasped Ellen’s arm. “We can’t let Amanda get all the attention.”

    Sophia was a beauty headed for a fall. She worked the step and repeat next to her sister like a pro. They were identical, that was obvious from the shape of their faces and their bone structure, but that was where the similarity ended. Sophia Legend and her twin sister might share the same DNA, but I could tell just by looking at them that they were completely different. The way they dressed, they way they carried themselves, even their facial expressions. The Legend magnetism and charisma exuded from Sophia, forcing everyone within a ten-foot radius to look at her. Yeah, Sophia Legend was on her way up into the celebrity stratosphere. The photogs ate her up like sharks circling a dump of chum. Her photos must be going for high dollars the way the camera flashes burst around her.
    “Yo, Trick, come get a pic with the fam.” To the right of Sophia and her sister stood Dillon and Lane. They’d just begun their turn on the step and repeat. The baby was asleep in a sling on Dillon’s chest. How could I say no to the world’s biggest action star?
    Really, it was fucking huge that Dillon and Lane were here. The celebs at our Pawtown event were all A-Listers, and that would create huge visibility for Pawtown. We’d be able to find forever homes for our animals and get donations. Choo had done a fantastic job for me and for Pawtown.
    I stood on one side of Lane and we worked the line. Once you learned how to do the step and repeat you never forgot. Stand close, smile and
