Growing up trapped by her father’s wealth, Ty Stannard found freedom on horseback. A talented young equestrian, she yearned to ride as well as her idol, champion Steve Sheppard. Worshipping the handsome young Kentuckian, she treasures the lucky medallion he gives her the day they chance to meet. But then a nasty fall changes everything, and Ty is forced to leave her dreams behind.

Years later, Ty learns that Steve is on the brink of financial ruin. Moved by memories of his kindness to her, she offers him financial backing, but Steve perceives only a socialite amusing herself at his expense.

As they rebuild Southwind, Steve’s beloved stable, they find unexpected strength and comfort in each other, and a passion which neither can deny. But their fragile love will be tested by not only those who seek to destroy what they have built, but also the insecurities and doubts which shadow their own very vulnerable hearts.
