Rivals

A hot power couple ignites in passionate rivalry in this “surefire winner” that spent three months on the New York Times bestseller list (Publishers Weekly).
 
When San Francisco ad executive Flame Bennett first meets powerful land developer Chance Stuart, the spark between them is intense and undeniable. Through their whirlwind courtship and marriage, Chance romances Flame lavishly—all while withholding a fatal secret. For years, Chance has coveted a sprawling estate in Oklahoma known as Morgan’s Walk—an estate Flame just so happens to have inherited.
 
When Chance’s secret intentions are revealed, the betrayal sends Flame into a red-hot fury. The lovers quickly turn to a bitter rivalry, reigniting a deadly feud that has existed between their families since the Oklahoma land rush. Rivals throbs with Dailey’s legendary mix of mystery, revenge, jet-set action, and sizzling sex—not to mention her tried-and-true formula for down-home color and sweet romance.
