An Ava Lee Novel: The Triad Years

In the seventh novel in the bestselling Ava Lee series, Ava finds herself in a brand new world — the world of the infamous Triads.

It’s been three months since Uncle’s passing, and Ava is finally ready to begin her new life as a partner with May Ling Wong and her sister-in-law Amanda in the Three Sisters venture capital firm. Ava travels to Shanghai to hear a pitch on a new investment possibility: the creation of a fashion line by Clark and Gillian Po. She also meets with the mysterious Xu, a young man Uncle had been mentoring and who is the head of the Triad in Shanghai. Xu makes an audacious business proposal that she and May Ling are compelled to consider. Meanwhile, separately and privately, he confides to Ava that he intends to run for the chairmanship of the Triad Societies and attempts to recruit her as his adviser and confidante. 

Against her will, Ava becomes enmeshed in Triad warfare and her future is threatened . . .

Xavier Knight Xavier Knight isn't just a name-it's a legacy carved in both the opulence of modern luxury and the shadows of a tumultuous past. With a calculated brilliance that commands respect, Xavier has built an empire on relentless ambition and unyielding resolve. His presence is magnetic: from the impeccably tailored suits that accentuate his athletic frame to the piercing gaze that seems to see right through every facade. At first glance, Xavier embodies the epitome of wealth and power. His world is defined by towering skyscrapers, exclusive gatherings, and a penthouse that overlooks a city pulsing with life. Every element of his lifestyle is meticulously curated-each piece of art, every vintage wine, all whispers of a man who doesn't just live in luxury, but defines it. In the boardroom, Xavier is a force to be reckoned with-a strategist whose decisions can make or break empires. His mind operates like a finely tuned machine, weighing risks and rewards with the precision of a master chess player. Yet, beneath this ruthless exterior lies a soul fueled by passion, a blend of intensity and hidden vulnerability that few ever glimpse. Ava Kingsley Some people are born to change the world with power and dominance. Ava Kingsley changes it with nothing but the quiet force of her goodness. She doesn't demand attention, nor does she seeks the spotlight. Ava is the embodiment of purity, not in naivety, but in the way she sees the world-with an open heart, boundless empathy, and an unwavering belief in love. She has a soul untouched by bitterness, a heart untainted by cruelty. Their marriage is a collision of two opposing worlds. He is dominance; she is defiance. He is fire; she is the soft rain meant to soothe it. Yet, the more she tries to resist him, the more he is drawn to her-her warmth, her kindness, the way she looks at him like he isn't the monster the world believes him to be. Will they fall in love or will they break the starlight?
