Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Texas Rich continues the Coleman family saga that's "fine fare for Fern Michaels's fans!" (The Philadelphia Inquirer).Built before World War II by domineering patriarch Seth Coleman, Sunbridge, the magnificent Austin, Texas, empire, now belongs to Moss and Billie's daughter, Maggie. She's invited the whole family—and several hundred guests—to a Fourth of July barbecue in celebration of the renewed sense of family pride she's determined to show more forge. But as loved ones come together, they bring old resentments and new temptations destined to generate more than a little heat. And as Maggie hopes to be accepted as mistress of Sunbridge, she also struggles to be a good mother to her resentful son Cole and her broken-hearted daughter, Sawyer. Then there is her sister, Susan, a renowned musician who arrives home for the most terrifying performance of her life. And in the midst of it all is Maggie's decision to divorce Cranston Tanner and her love for another man—a love that could cost her everything . . .
