Everything is bigger in Texas, from the vast stretch of sky to the rattlesnakes—and for one prestigious family,

that means outsized drama, passions, and scandal following the murder of the wealthy patriarch . . .

Yellowstone meets Dallas against the backdrop of Texas horse country in this soapy saga for fans of Linda Lael

Miller, Danielle Steel, and Diana Palmer.

Lila Culhane’s life is in turmoil. As if coping with the murder of her husband isn’t enough, now the glamorous

young widow has Frank’s even younger mistress to contend with. His pregnant mistress. Crystal. But Lila

hasn’t got time for more heartache. With everyone grasping to profit from Frank’s death, including fighting for

possession of her beloved ranch, she needs leverage for the battle.

As it turns out, Crystal may be carrying just the edge Lila requires: an heir. Crystal offers to let Lila adopt Frank’s

baby—for a price. Lila is willing to consider it—pending a paternity test. Until then, she’ll focus on her role in

the upcoming high-stakes Run for a Million reining competition, and her ranch manager—and lover—Roper

McKenna.

Rugged, hardworking, and talented, Roper is finally getting his dream to ride in the prized competition. Lila

expects he’ll choose the Culhane’s legendary stallion, One in a Million, as his mount. But when he considers

other offers, she finds herself questioning his loyalty . . .

Meanwhile, Detective Sam Rafferty’s list of suspects in Frank’s murder is growing. Besides Roper and Lila,

Frank’s bitter first wife and his sparring extended family, there are adversarial neighbors, ex-lovers, and perhaps

even the woman Sam loves—Frank’s own pampered daughter, Jasmine. And as the surprises multiply, a killer

remains free to strike again—if these rivals don’t kill each other first . . .
