The Singh Family Trilogy developed after a series of conversations that occurred between myself and my editor, Elle Keck. Elle, thank you for letting me write about brown billionaires. Your unwavering support has always been a guiding light as I struggle through the trenches of my manuscript. Thank you also to the wonderful women at Avon who support, uplift, and cheer me on. Being a part of the Avon family has been an incredible experience, and you’re all the reason I’m so damn happy. Thanks to Joy Tutela at David Black Literary, who is the best partner in crime a girl could have. Thank you to the hubs, who listens to me rant and eats takeout when I am late on edits and desperate to finish. To my friends Smita Kurrumchand and Ali Magnotti Nagel who also listen to me complain incessantly about my novels. To my critique partner, the talented Dee Ernst. To the RITA Writer’s Room class of 2019: Sarah Maclean, Adriana Herrera, Andie Christopher, Sierra Simone, LaQuette, Joanna Shupe, and Alexis Daria. You are the squad that any girl would be lucky to have. Thank you for your shenanigans and your support.

And thanks to all the girl bosses in my career who gave me the tough love I needed to show up and stop apologizing.

THE TAKEOVER EFFECT

Hemdeep Singh knows exactly what he wants. With his intelligence and determination, he has what it takes to build his own legacy away from Bharat, Inc., and the empire his father created. But when his brother calls him home, Hem puts his dreams on hold once again to help save the company he walked away from. That’s when he encounters the devastating Mina Kohli in the Bharat boardroom, and he realizes he’s in for more than he had bargained.

Mina will do whatever it takes to recover control of her mother’s law firm, even if it means agreeing to an arranged marriage. Her newest case assignment is to assist Bharat in the midst of a potential takeover. It could be the key to finally achieving her goal while preventing her marriage to a man she doesn’t love—as long as her explosive attraction to Hem doesn’t get in the way.

As Mina and Hem work to save Bharat, they not only uncover secrets that could threaten the existence of the company, but they also learn that in a winner-takes-all game, love always comes out on top.
