The Rivals

Diana West Anderson. Her strength would heal the bitter wounds of a divided family … her desire would bring happiness to a man who believed love was an illusion … her courage would rebuild an empire undermined by misfortune and sabotage, the Anderson shipping line.

Notorious for being a pioneering shipping enterprise, the company is crumbling and Grant Anderson is struggling to manage in the midst of family feuds and illicit affairs.

Sacrifice, ambition and loyalty take him on a journey that sees him arrested, stranded on a desert island, torn between two women and dragged into a battle with his own son on the opposition.

Stephanie von Roon, cold, calculating and manipulative, is a member of the Prussian nobility.

It is she who is Diana’s biggest challenge, a rival in business and in love who will stop at nothing to get what she wants and who makes dangerous enemies of her own...

Can Grant ever love Diana the way he loves Stephanie? And who is behind the sabotage of the Anderson ships?

From the harbor waters of turn-of-the-century New York to Germany on the eve of World War I, The Rivals is a magnificent saga of passion and betrayal, tragedy and triumph. The story of a daring woman’s love for a dynasty and the rich passions of her heart.
