Product Description
Take one pretty young equine veterinarian, add five Arabian horses, sprinkle in some loneliness, and transplant to northern California. Blend in a few ornery cattle ranchers, stir with one hunky horse trainer, and let love boil. The delectable result is one hot story.
Still mourning the death of her father, Kentuckian Liz Barnett casts aside her usual practical and cautious nature, and moves to a new veterinary practice opportunity in the foothills around Placerville, California. Stunning horses, great credentials, and tons of self-confidence convince Liz that a new and exciting life awaits her, but she's met with resistance and hard scrutiny. Her salvation is her beautiful horses, and she throws herself into building a breeding program to equal that of her famous father's.
Along the way, her heart tangles with a handsome and intriguing horse trainer, Kurt DeVallio, and her life takes off on an emotional roller-coaster ride. In the glittering and sometimes treacherous world of show horses, Liz's personal and professional ideals are challenged, and she learns that winning has many meanings.
