She had the crown. She had the gold. Until she lost it all in the mud.
Kendall was the undisputed Queen of Royal Oaks. Rich, talented, and arrogant, she thought the world-and her champion stallion, Apollo-belonged to her. But when a ruthless rivalry with the new heiress, Paris Sterling, leads to a rigged bet, Kendall doesn't just lose a race. She loses her title, her fortune, and her beloved horse. Stripped of her designer boots and forced to flee, she finds refuge at Windy Hill, a run-down stable on the verge of bankruptcy. Here, money can't buy respect, and the mysterious, brooding owner, John, has no patience for fallen princesses. From cleaning stalls to mending fences in the rain, Kendall must rebuild herself from the ground up.
Can the girl who had everything learn that true victory isn't about the trophy, but about the heart you put into the ride?
A story of redemption, enemies-to-lovers, and the unbreakable bond between a girl and her horse.
