description: “Bev Pettersen writes with flair and a down-to-earth warmth that will make you smile and sigh with contentment.” – Julianne MacLean, USA Today bestselling author “Five stars. Probably my favorite in the series because I so enjoyed watching a timid, beaten down girl become a woman to be reckoned with.” – Lit Asylum Becky Rivers yearns for a family of her own and carves out a home as companion-nurse to an aging Texas matriarch with more opinions than horses. Bruised by years of neglectful foster care, Becky avoids the limelight but is forced to team up with a hunky horse trainer in order to salvage her employer's luxurious race stable. Soon she is caught between a murderer and a ruthless saboteur…and her only ally is a man she can love, but who she isn’t sure she can trust. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "It's the perfect blend of horses, romance, and intrigue!" "The people and settings are so real, I felt like I was back in the stables at Ruidoso Downs!" "Enjoyable read, easily relatable characters, a perfect blend of romance, mystery, intrigue and horses!" "A wonderful mix of suspense, romance, and humor."
