Book Description

Horse racing was Ashleigh Scott’s life. And she would go to any lengths to protect her family’s legacy – Wind Racer Farm. But when one of her horses went berserk, killing a jockey, Ashleigh’s world was shattered.

Doyle McCoy had a hunch about the truth. A syndicated handicapper, he knew the darker side of racing. But he needed Ashleigh to enter the inner circle of the Kentucky horse set.

Ashleigh wasn’t opening any doors for him…until the trail of disturbing clues led to murder and revenge. And it became all too clear that in this horse race, their lives were at stake.
