A wayward billionaire looking for love. An activist who also happens to write the most scorching dark romance novels to ever hit the bookshelves. Every time they think they’re clicking, they’re reminded of the differences that shackle them to the same old lives. That’s what happens when Phoebe Dahl walks into the office of Preston Bradley, the man who owns her publisher. What’s a mere formality for her turns into the best day of Preston’s life. Because he’s found the one. Phoebe’s distrust of capitalism and drive to help those less fortunate than her puts her at instant odds with the man who lives by himself in a huge mansion in Portland’s affluent hills. Yet he wants her. He’s pretty sure she wants him too. Otherwise, how is she ending up in his bed? But there’s one thing Preston doesn’t know about Phoebe. He’s not her first ride at the billionaire boyfriend rodeo… and the last rich boyfriend nearly destroyed her ability to love. While Phoebe plugs away at her next bestseller, Preston comes up with a plan to prove to her – and the world – that they are destined to be together. Even if there are a billion reasons telling them to give it up.

A colorful and revealing portrait of the rise of India’s new billionaire class in a radically unequal society India is the world’s largest democracy, with more than one billion people and an economy expanding faster than China’s. But the rewards of this growth have been far from evenly shared, and the country’s top 1% now own nearly 60% of its wealth. In megacities like Mumbai, where half the population live in slums, the extraordinary riches of India’s new dynasties echo the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers of America's Gilded Age, funneling profits from huge conglomerates into lifestyles of conspicuous consumption. James Crabtree’s The Billionaire Raj takes readers on a personal journey to meet these reclusive billionaires, fugitive tycoons, and shadowy political power brokers. From the sky terrace of the world’s most expensive home to impoverished villages and mass political rallies, Crabtree dramatizes the battle between crony capitalists and economic reformers, revealing a tense struggle between equality and privilege playing out against a combustible backdrop of aspiration, class, and caste. The Billionaire Raj is a vivid account of a divided society on the cusp of transformation—and a struggle that will shape not just India’s future, but the world’s.
