Inheritance — Susan Hart

Inheritance is a steamy romance thriller novel about the three sex-starved Segovia brothers who own a vast winery and Arabian horse-breeding ranch in Santa Barbara County, on the California Central Coast. Throw a gorgeous and sexually charged police forensics expert into the mix plus a sexually deviant and cruel lawyer who latches onto Henri the youngest, and things can get wound fairly tightly -- and they do. The longtime ranch foreman is murdered and Javier starts to lose his stranglehold on his two brothers, and his own way of life. This romantic thriller has scenes of sex and wealth gone badly and life in the paradise that's known as Santa Barbara.
