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.

Wow Wow Wow! Such a good book. As you are reading, along comes another twist that you didn't see coming. Two women, turned out to be sisters, with the same dad. So many issues but you just kept reading. Highly recommend.

One of Janet Dailey's best IMO
I originally owned a hardback copy of this book when it first came out. I loved it then, too...the plot, the rivalry, the horses. My copy got lost during several moves so I'm glad to get one of my favorites again as an eBook.

The mistakes of a father come home to ruin a life.
Truly enjoyed this story of two girls so miss led into hating each other because of the selfishness of a father. Sometimes enlightenment comes too late to make amends.
