Leilani Williams is the woman that all women envy. She has the beauty, and the brains, and her presence alone commanded the attention of everyone in the room.

Ares Bateman is the man that every man wants to be. He’s strict and calculated, yet also the most misunderstood.

The one thing these two have in common is that they are both fighting for ownership of the same company. More specifically, her father’s company. Although they both want the same thing, they still can’t help but fall for each other, even though they’re rivals. 

Will Leilani and Ares get what they want in the end? Or will their love shine brighter than their need for power?

“Ares,” I whispered.

The words were suddenly stuck in my throat as his lips crashed onto mine. They were soft, captivating, and oh-so-delicious. This was not how the night was supposed to end, but I wasn’t going to complain.

The Billionaire's Rival

She was gone and I was left alone in my bed.


I hate that I couldn’t help her. I only heard fragments of what her father had said, but he was wrong. I loved Leilani and I would put her first. I should have made a statement about my separation from Christina before pulling Leilani into the spotlight with me, but I doubt that would have ceased the online fire she’s getting.


My mother and Christina had sent me several articles that attacked Leilani and her character. I was more than certain that her father would show her the very same articles and no doubt demand she stop seeing me.


I brushed my hair out of my face and sat up in the bed, the events of last night slowly filtering into my mind. It should have gone better, and my family should have shown her some resemblance of grace or kindness. Anastasia was the only one who cared that Leilani meant something to me.
