Alexandra de Silva is an enigma. Everything about her is complicated; her life, her horse, her past...So when a local boy at the livery yard she works at convinces her to enter a competition on her registered Portuguese-bred Lusitano stallion Scipio, things take a turn for the worse, and threatens to bring everything crashing down. With old memories knocking on her door, she has a choice: embrace her culture and her childhood - while walking away from the new life she made for herself, or forfeit everything that she was ever born to be to escape the past that haunts her.
