A hot power couple ignites in passionate rivalry in this "surefire winner" that spent three months on the New York Times bestseller list (Publishers Weekly).
When San Francisco ad executive Flame Bennett first meets powerful land developer Chance Stuart, the spark between them is intense and undeniable.

When Chance's secret intentions are revealed, the betrayal sends Flame into a red-hot fury. The lovers quickly turn to a bitter rivalry, reigniting a deadly feud that has existed between their families since the Oklahoma land rush.

For years, Chance has hungered for Morgan's Walk, an Oklahoma estate that Flame inherits. Bad blood between the Stuart and Morgan clans goes back to the days of the Oklahoma land rush. Believing that Chance only married her to get at Morgan's Walk, Flame picks up the baton with alacrity, moving ruthlessly to block her husband. Mysterious threats, heated affairs and the heady scent of revenge are liberally sprinkled throughout the novel with Dailey's assured hand.
