On the fringe of the crowd of mourners at the funeral is a woman whose face nearly mirrors her ownтАФa second daughter. And, as if that betrayal isnтАЩt enough, she discovers that her father has left his money to the interloper. Abbie has the Arabians, but not the money to support them. As she witnesses her rivalтАЩs rise in the Texas social scene, a tall, rough-hewn oil man named MacCrea Wilder enters her life. She doesnтАЩt need the distraction, but thereтАЩs something about his sinewy arms that keeps her mind circling back to his kiss. Yet, as the years pass, even love may be sacrificed to the bitterness between these two women.
