There has only ever been one man in Frankie’s life: her father, Doug Cooper. That is until she takes the job of amateur jockey at Aspen Valley Racing Stables where her path not so much crosses as collides with that of star rider, Rhys Bradford. Her crush on him would be made so much simpler if she hadn’t just been given the opportunity of a jockey’s lifetime: the ride on Grand National favourite, Peace Offering.
Unfortunately, it just so happens this opportunity comes at Rhys’s expense and he’s not happy about it... or is he?
In the turbulent run-up to National Hunt’s biggest event, Frankie is filled with questions. Is Rhys playing games with her heart? What exactly does her father have against the Bradfords? Will Ta’ Qali show his true potential in time to warrant his place at Aspen Valley? Why do there have to be so many blasted calories in strawberry cheesecake? And lastly, who exactly is Francesca Cooper?
A big-hearted romance of self-discovery and the thrills and spills that accompany love and life.
