One in a Million

By Janet Dailey | Publisher: Kensington Books

About the book

Yellowstone meets Dallas against the backdrop of Texas horse country, as the death of a patriarch leaves his rich and powerful ranching family dynasty at odds, a high-stakes reining competition in the balance, and forbidden attractions in the mix.

Fans of Linda Lael Miller, Danielle Steel, and Diana Palmer will devour this soapy saga filled to the brim with Texas-style drama, corruption, money, and sizzling affairs.

Frank Culhane may be the wealthy patriarch of one of Texas’s most prestigious families, but his party-girl daughter, Jasmine, is only interested in the money the ranch brings in—and the cowboys. Until the day she heads to the stables in search of their hot horse trainer and instead discovers her daddy’s body in their prize stallion’s box stall.

Though Roper is in demand as a trainer, he’s hungry to compete in reining events like the prized forthcoming Run for a Million—but without a horse to ride, he’s stuck working for rich ranchers like the Culhanes. And when an autopsy reveals Frank was murdered, Roper lands on the list of possible suspects.

City outsider Detective Sam Rafferty is propelled into a tangle of simmering rivalries as he undertakes the investigation. For the ranch is now in the hands of an explosive partnership: Frank’s young, glamorous second wife, Lila, and his scorned first wife, Madeline. Lila has a genuine passion for ranching. Madeline is determined to destroy her.

Through Sam’s interviews, more tensions surface. But tricky alliances are also brewing. While Lila and Roper clash, they discover a fire beneath their sparring. And with a killer still at large, the heat between Jasmine and Sam could put the case, and all their futures, on the line . . .
