She's reluctant at first, but when she reaches a financial crisis, she's forced to accept...after all she is getting paid a butt load. Her friendship with Ryan continues, but she's sure that she doesn't want it to go beyond that. The only problem is that Ryan may want to go a little but farther than friends. Not only does all this happen around her, but her best friend somehow manages to get Sadie, herself and Ryan lost while taking them on a overnight ride. Will Sadie find the courage to hold everything together? (It is advised to read Finding Talent first, so things will make more sense)

No one knew what to do with the colt. He was unpredictable. Dangerous. A coursing speed rippled through him, but something menacing came with. He was a wounded sailer in a sea of yearning, and no one wanted to swim to save him. She thought herself the same way. Different. A force to be reckoned with. A tornado- she came without warning and demolished without regard for whom she touched and whom she saved. But everyone else saw a damaged soul, a locked chest with a thrown away key. Maybe that key was in the sea.
