Publisher's Summary

Bobby Cameron is a cowboy through and through. An alpha male of the old school, his classic good looks have made women swoon on the racing circuit from Kentucky to Dubai. After inheriting Highwood, his father's magnificent but debt-ridden ranch in California's Santa Ynez Valley, Bobby travels wherever he's wanted, breaking horses for their wealthy owners and raising the cash he needs to protect his land. That's all he cares about, until he meets a young English girl named Milly Lockwood Groves.

The 17-year-old daughter of a millionaire Newmarket breeder, Milly has watched her odious older brother become a jockey, and pursue a career she knows should be hers. Forbidden to race because of a childhood accident and her mother's notions about unladylike behavior, Milly is still secretly determined to follow her dreams. Then Bobby Cameron strides into her life, and nothing is ever the same.

She accepts his offer to work for a year at Highwood, desperate to make a name for herself in racing, and for Bobby to see her as a woman.

Caught up in a world where unscrupulous horse owners and billionaire media moguls rub shoulders, and more, with oversexed racing widows and fiercely ambitious jockeys, Milly must discover if she has what it takes to be a winner, on the track, in the bedroom, and, ultimately, in the game of love.

From AudioFile

Horse ranches and stud farms are the backdrop for this intriguing romance. Bobby Cameron is an international horse trainer based in California. He meets Milly Lockwood Groves while training her arch rival Rachel's horses. To escape her unhappy home, Milly accepts Bobby's offer to train quarter horses, but soon she becomes involved with unscrupulous horse trainers. Sonya Walger brings Milly's innocence to the fore with soft tones that are in sharp contrast to Rachel's self-centeredness. Walger keeps Bobby's accent flat in juxtaposition to the cruel inflections in the voices of his competitors. Of course, Bobby gets the girl, or it wouldn't be a romance, but does he get the horses and the ranch? It will take a showdown to make their dreams come true. (c) AudioFile 2007
