But it wasn?t enough for the Collingsworths. Now, the same restless passion for power that conquered California threatens to tear the family apart? Thomas Collingsworth, the patriarch, stopped at nothing to build an empire from his humble origins?until a specter from the past nearly destroyed it all. Hollis, his son, learned early that every man had his price?and no price was too great if it would expand the family?s power and crush its enemies. Deborah, the ravishing international star, shared Hollis? darkest secret and plotted her own revenge.

His relentless search for the parents he never knew threatened to topple even the magnificent Collingsworths.
