From #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland comes a sexy enemies-to-lovers standalone!

The limited deluxe edition comes with designed cityscape edges.

The feud between Sophia Sterling and Weston Lockwood started before they were even born. Their grandfathers were once best friends, until a wedding-day betrayal turned them into lifelong enemies β€” and passed the grudge down through the generations.

Now, fate has trapped Sophia and Weston together in the one place neither of them can escape β€” the world's most luxurious hotel, left jointly to their grandfathers by the woman at the centre of the scandal.

Weston is arrogant, cocky, infuriating, and annoyingly gorgeous. Sophia wants to hate him. Needs to hate him. But every heated argument ends with them in the same place β€” tangled in sheets instead of strategy.

What begins as family rivalry turns into stolen kisses, fiery encounters, and a passion too strong to ignore. But when pride, legacy, and love are on the line, will they keep fighting the war their families started, or surrender to the one thing they can't resist?

Tropes to love:
- Enemies to lovers
- Forced proximity
- Family feud
- Banter and tension

Praise for The Rivals:

"This book is unputdownable. The Rivals is everything that you want in a romance β€” a solid story, fantastic characters, combustible attraction, and flirty fun. The Rivals is Vi's sexiest book to date." - Kindle Crack Book Reviews

"Funny, tantalizing, and steamy with a side of emotions! An enemies-to-lovers romance that will have you needing an ice-cold shower." - Miss Petite Brunette Book Blog

"A delicious enemies-to-lovers romance with the kind of sexy banter and antagonistic teasing that made me fan my face while laughing out loud. The Rivals just might be my favourite Vi Keeland book to date." - Harlequin Junkie
