Wounded in body and spirit after a shootout, Rayford Jessup
leaves his career as a lawman and uses his gift with damaged
horses to bring meaning to his solitary life. Hired by a
Scotsman in Heartbreak Creek to purchase thoroughbreds, he
travels to England, unaware that a traumatized horse and a
beautiful Englishwoman will change his life forever.
Josephine Cathcart loves two things: her illegitimate son
and her injured stallion. Faced with her father’s looming
bankruptcy, she must choose between a loveless marriage to
the man who ruined her, or risk her horse and her future on
a handsome, taciturn Texan and a high-stakes horse race. But
as vengeful forces conspire against them, will Rafe’s love
and healing touch be enough to save her horse and protect
her and her son?
