Joan Johnston presents the thrilling saga of two dynastic families, the Blackthornes and the Creeds, with this powerful New York Times bestseller -- a novel of intrigue, passion, ambition, and love set amid Houston's towering skyscrapers and the majestic plains of South Texas ranch country. Luke Creed has sacrificed everything for his career at the prestigious law firm DeWitt & Blackthorne: a chance to run his family's ranching empire, his marriage, even time with his two daughters. Defending a major client in a wrongful death case, Luke crosses paths with his high school sweetheart, Amy Hazeltine Nash, an advocate for the bereaved plaintiff. Now, Luke and Amy are divided by forces beyond themselves -- and overcome by an all-consuming desire. But when the case takes a deadly twist, Luke delves into a dangerous web of corruption that may place his life in jeopardy -- and may also target the one woman who loves Luke for who he really is: rebel, cowboy, loner, and lover.

"Continuing saga of the Creeds and Blackthornes. This one was Luke Creed's story. These frothy romances are good quick reading, albeit very unrealistic with everything coming out like a fairy tale. But, I like to read these stories between serious books. Good diversion. " — Marianne (4 out of 5 stars)

" Not my favorite one so far. Too much legal talk and not enough romance and cowboy. ;-) Although I was glad for Luke's story, I just couldn't get into it like I did the first three in the Bitter Creek series. "
" Not bad...not super, super good... but entertaining. Moves along quickly. "
" So far - no not doing it. "
" Great book . "
" Second time I've read this series love it!! "
" I enjoyed this book and it kept me reading to find out what the real story was regarding the kids dying. I wanted the big corporation to be at fault. Spellbinding. "
