Following him to America to realize her dreams, she risks losing her innocence and her heart in the process.
"The Horse Whisperer and National Velvet meet Jackie Collins behind the barn in this libidinous fly-on-the-stall peek at horse racing and California real estate chicanery, just in time for beach read season." - PW.
