“JoAnn Ross triumphs again!” said Romantic Times of Fair Haven. Now the talented author returns to the bewitching Irish countryside in this irresistible tale of love’s extraordinary possibilities. A special kind of heart . . . In the do-or-die world of horse racing, Alec MacKenna stands out as a man who genuinely cares—not just about winning, but for the horses he trains. And he knows that the rangy Irish Thoroughbred Legends Lake needs some special handling. The young stallion could be a Triple Crown contender, but he’s more intent on outrunning his demons than his competition. There’s only one hope for curing him: taking him back to Ireland and the unique woman who bred him. Kate O’Sullivan’s ability to soothe a frightened horse is almost magical, but the Irishwoman is also as stubborn as the day is long when it comes to all she holds dear. Since Alec has a temper himself, their new partnership promises to be fiery. But as their shared concern for the troubled horse brings them together, they find that sometimes a lot of heart is all you need to fall in love. . . .
