Synopsis

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.

This book packed a punch! It’s the first book by Joan Johnston I’ve read and won’t be the last. The Price has it all: family drama, affairs, secrets, corruption, murder, and lots of scandals! It’s like a whole soap opera wrapped up nicely into a little book box. Enjoy!......more

Goodreads review by Laurie (barksbooks) on February 04, 2010

When I started this book I didn't realize it was #4 in a long running series. This means the author throws out tons of characters and refers to past events that left me shaking my pea brain in confusion.
