Masters of the Universe — Susan Hart

Masters Of The Universe, is a fictional novel full of intrigue, murder and sex. It covers The Segovia family who came from Spain, and how they helped build El Presidio in Santa Barbara, California. Settling on land purchased from the Chumash by his father, a young Spanish army officer takes a wife through an unwillingly arranged marriage, but his true love is a Chumash woman. In Part Two, the mansion and winery estate in Santa Barbara County has grown tremendously, to also include a large Arabian horse breeding facility. Here, three brothers with the same names as their ancestors continue the traditions of the Segovia Family: Accumulating wealth, having sex with as many women as they can, and dabbling in a few extracurricular activities now and then. This is set within the paradise of contemporary Santa Barbara.
