About this eBook
A powerful New York Times bestseller by the queen of Texas romance, The Price is 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, and 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.

Too close to the truth to be called a lie. I loved the personality of the main character in this book. This novel gives great insight to the lives of lawyers and the challenges they must fast daily. Not the usual dose of romance for me but enought to keep me interest. The writing of this novel reminded me of some of the more prefered movies I've seen and would love to see again.
