But the past will make them bitter enemies....
She is a flame-haired beauty, a successful advertising executive with impeccable family connections. He is a brash and powerful real-estate mogul, a man for whom no dream is too daring, no risk too dangerous. When they meet, their attraction soon ignites the love of a lifetime.
But without their knowing it, their future has already been determined by the past. A shameful legacy of greed, adultery and murder has bequeathed them a searing hatred, a family feud that will explode and threaten to destroy their perfect joy...
Whisking us from San Fransisco's genteel Nob Hill to Mexico's sun-baked coast, from the dusty days of Oklahoma's land rush to the glamorous world of today's megadeals, RIVALS is a spectacular story of desire and betrayal, ambition and revenge. It is Janet Dailey's most richly imagined and exciting novel to date.
