Racehorse trainer, Kurt MacKinnon, resents being yanked into undercover police work. But when his ex-partner is murdered, Kurt is determined to find the killer and moves his third-string Thoroughbreds to the backwater track where his partner was last seen alive.
Julie West, a dedicated but struggling jockey, pins her dreams of an elusive win on the new trainer in town, never suspecting she's a person of interest-and not because of her riding skills.
Kurt didn't expect his contrary colt to flourish under Julie's feminine touch nor for his own rusty heart to soften. However, his deceit sucks them both into the crosshairs of a killer, and suddenly much more than their love is in danger.
