It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game.

After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?

I want to give credit @RachelLouiseJones because she made this wonderful cover for me! :) Rated - PG Note: This book won't be completely accurate because I don't know a whole bunch about the racing industry. So, there may be a few things I have in here that don't happen in the racing industry but it's not about how accurate it is. This book is meant to be fun and enjoyable to read. I hope you all like this book. I worked really hard on it.Complete
