A parcel. A secret. The adventure of a lifetime.
Out one night with friends, Maria Pearce bears witness to something that sparks off a series of events that quickly unravels the life she thought she knew. Angering her father, he takes the one thing she holds closest to her heart: her beloved horse, Indah. Heartbroken, Maria sinks deep in misery, only surfacing twelve months later. When her desperate attempts to locate Indah are fruitless, she swallows her pain and tries to move on.
After her parents divorce, her mother lands a dream job, takes the opportunity to go to Venice for twelve months… and goes missing.
Then the strangest parcel arrives, containing four curious items: a beautiful silver dress, a pile of letters and a note. But it was the last one that caught Maria’s eye: a list setting out a precise, all-expenses-paid trip for her and a friend to Venice, Paris and Palau. It seemed impossible, inconceivable, unbelievable, too good to be true. But when everything is proven to be genuine, the chance to search for her mother would be impossible to pass up.
What neither of the girls realise is that in agreeing to go, they will discover that secrets lurking deep in their mothers’ pasts are about to surface- and change their lives forever.

Evelyn Holloway's life seemed perfect. Being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon and a professional model meant that everything was handed to her on a gold plated platter, even if she didn't want it. With her pedigreed horses and world-class riding instructors, Eves life revolved around horses. However, Eve is constantly under the watch of her parents' critical eyes with expectations of nothing less than perfectionism. To top everything off, Eve had learned that people always try to use her for her status and money. Eve believes she'll never meet a decent person who could look past her wealth, someone she could maybe call a friend.
...Then she meets Ashleigh
Ashleigh Sutton is Eves polar opposite. Rocked by her parents' crippling divorce, the only thing Ashleigh seems to have left in her life is her love of horses and a passion for riding. However, her parents' split has left her with barely enough money to afford anymore riding lessons, much less her dream...a horse of her own. Worse, Ashleigh has learned that the people she thought were her friends were really only being her friends out of pity. Ashleigh feels as if there is nobody in the world who can look past her less than desirable home situation and be a true friend.
...Then she get's a job at Eves stable.
Working all summer in exchange for riding lessons and showing opportunities seemed like a dream come true for Ashleigh and having a group of people her age with the same love for horses seemed perfect for Eve. However, the group of aspiring equestrians is more competitive than either girl had thought, everyone fighting for the top spot.
Time for a summer filled with horses, drama...and maybe friendship...
