Golden Empire
IT WAS THE LAST OF THE GIANT CALIFORNIA RANCHES, AND ONE FAMILY SHAPED IT'S DESTINY FOR GENERATIONS. . .
Leander Champion Buckles III dominated a room the way mountains dominated the plains. He loved Cira Pico McCartney, the beautiful half-Spanish girl whose dark eyes were flecked with gold. Though they could never marry, together they would forge a GOLDEN EMPIRE.
Over the years the passion of the Buckles family nourished and built the land. And, as new generations grew up and took over, it was that same human passion that ultimately threatened to destroy the GOLDEN EMPIRE.

This book I found really disturbing. I don't enjoy incest stories and if I'm not mistaken, the protagonists are uncle and niece; not enjoyable. I found it creepy.
