"JoAnn Ross triumphs again " said Romantic Times of Fair Haven. Now the talented author returns to the bewitching Irish countryside in this irresistible tale of love's extraordinary possibilities.
A special kind of heart . . .
In the do-or-die world of horse racing, Alec MacKenna stands out as a man who genuinely cares--not just about winning, but for the horses he trains. And he knows that the rangy Irish Thoroughbred Legends Lake needs some special handling. The young stallion could be a Triple Crown contender, but he's more intent on outrunning his demons than his competition. There's only one hope for curing him: taking him back to Ireland and the unique woman who bred him.
Kate O'Sullivan's ability to soothe a frightened horse is almost magical, but the Irishwoman is also as stubborn as the day is long when it comes to all she holds dear. Since Alec has a temper himself, their new partnership promises to be fiery. But as their shared concern for the troubled horse brings them together, they find that sometimes a lot of heart is all you need to fall in love. . . .
