Book Description

The pounding of horses' hooves was music to Julie Pendleton's ears. She had grown up on her father's Kentucky horse farm, and love for the sport of kings was in her blood. The handsome, dashing son of a neighboring horse-raiser loved racing just as much as Julie, so it seemed they were destined to marry and join forces. But amid the excitement of the approaching Kentucky Derby, fate took a confusing and frightening turn. A good-looking Yankee stranger made Julie's hear quicken dangerously, while a mysterious and cunning criminal threatened the Pendleton Derby entry. Suddenly, beautiful young Julie was in a race of her own -- against time and sinister evil.
