As the only daughter in a Mafia family, I always knew the possibility existed that I’d be part of an arranged marriage, but I never expected to be given to a man I hated by his name alone. Kai Vivenzo was our families greatest rival, a man I’d been taught to despise, and if he expected me to be a passive and dutiful wife, he was in for a huge surprise. All I wanted was freedom from this ruthless life I’d been born into, even if that meant severing all ties with my family. I was stubborn and strong-willed, but what I didn’t anticipate was Kai’s power of seduction. Even when I chose to escape this sham of a marriage and ran off in the middle of the night to start a new life for myself, he chased me and found me, breaking down my resistance and making me his, again and again. The next morning, I woke to a simple note from him: Until the next time I catch you. What ensued was a steamy, delicious game of cat and mouse . . . until the day I was abducted, and not by Kai, but his enemy who planned to use me in his own plan of revenge against my fiancé. I just hoped I was worth more to Kai alive, than dead. Ruthless Rival is the third book in the Ruthless Mafia series. It is a stand-alone enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, mafia romance, complete with an HEA and no cliffhangers.

"In vivid detail... examines the little-known history of two extraordinary dynasties."--The Boston Globe "Not just a brilliant, well-researched, and highly readable book about China's past, it also reveals the contingencies and ironic twists of fate in China's modern history."--LA Review of Books An epic, multigenerational story of two rival dynasties who flourished in Shanghai and Hong Kong as twentieth-century China surged into the modern era, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist The Sassoons and the Kadoories stood astride Chinese business and politics for more than one hundred seventy-five years, profiting from the Opium Wars; surviving Japanese occupation; courting Chiang Kai-shek; and nearly losing everything as the Communists swept into power. Jonathan Kaufman tells the remarkable history of how these families ignited an economic boom and opened China to the world, but remained blind to the country's deep inequality and to the political turmoil on their doorsteps. In a story stretching from Baghdad to Hong Kong to Shanghai to London, Kaufman enters the lives and minds of these ambitious men and women to forge a tale of opium smuggling, family rivalry, political intrigue, and survival.
