Synopsis
"The complexity of [the sisters'] relationship fascinates....[Dailey] moves her story ahead so purposefully and dramatically...readers will be glad they've gone along for the ride."
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
They meet at their father's funeral, two beautiful women who could almost be twins. Abbie Lawson is the gently bred daugter, raised in the lap of luxury. Rachel Farr is the love child of Dean Lawson and a fiery artist. Rachel's life has been modest and lonely--until now. For the father's death will set off a fierce competition between the sisters, and the stakes are nothing less than all that is Texas at its most magnificent--its oil fields, its Arabian horse farms, and its extraordinary men--men who will love two women who should have been the best of friends. Instead, they are locked in a battle to prove whom their father loved best by fighting to inherit his legacy....

From Publishers Weekly
In her 13th novel, Dailey (Santiago Blue polishes her popular style to a high sheen. Born into a wealthy Texas family, Abby Lawson grows up on the beautiful, sprawling ranch where her father Dean breeds Arabian horses; in California, her illegitimate sister Rachel aches for the father she rarely sees. After the two square off at Dean's funeral, Abby's initial anger turns to shock when she finds Rachel has inherited while she and her mother not only are saddled with debts but lose their home to the interloper, who marries well and promptly sets out to duplicate the life her half-sister has enjoyed all along. The bitterness between the two escalates yearly as they cross paths and swords, using husbands, lovers and children as ammunition in their war. Dailey doesn't hesitate to make full use of the cliches of the commercial fiction genre, but her wit, imagination and creation of a sardonic male romantic lead constitute solid entertainment. First serial to Cosmopolitan; Doubleday Book Club main selection; Literary Guild alternate.
