Heiress
| They
meet at their father’s funeral, two beautiful women
who could almost be twins. Abbie Lawson is the
gently bred daughter, 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 it extraordinary men – men
who will love two woman 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…. THE WOMEN Abbie Lawson – beautiful, proud, spoiled. Her father, Dean Lawson, gave her everything that money could buy – except the sure knowledge that he loved her above everything he ever owned. Rachel Farr – shy, insecure, an untapped beauty. She knew everything about Abbie’s charmed life and envied it all. And when she won the chance, she wanted to make Abbie pay for everything ever denied her. THE MEN MacCrea Wilder – Strong, independent, irresistible. Everything he had, he made for himself, by himself. Stubborn and self-assured he and Abbie were drawn to each other’s passionate natures, yet were pulled apart by them too. Lane Canfield - Dean Lawson’s trusted friend and advisor. He worshipped Rachel’s fragility and tenderness, wanting to save her from jealousy that consumed her. THE HORSES River Breeze – the courageous, strong Arabian horse who couldn’t lose a race. He was part of Abbie’s legacy, what she shared with her father, and she cherished that memory. Windstrom – Rachel’s long-legged Arabian horse. One of the few gifts she received from her father, she treasured him above all else, pushing him to race, to win, no matter what the cost. |
