A gifted trainer in a time women are not allowed to race, Nora Fenton prefers horses to men. Theyâre easier to handle, theyâre more reliable, and they never tell her what to do. After her fatherâs passing, Nora is determined to save her
struggling horse farm, starting with entering her prize colt into the harness races at the 1905 Mississippi and West Alabama Fair. If she wins, she may have a chance at independence. But when a stranger arrives and starts asking disconcerting
questions, she suspects he may have other motives than unseating her in the training job that is rightfully hers.
Silas Cavallero will do whatever it takes to solve the mystery of his fatherâs deathâeven if it means training an unwieldy colt for Nora, who wants nothing more than to see him gone. But when mysterious accidents threaten their safety
and circumstances shrouded in secrets begin unlocking clues to his past, Silas will have to decide if the truth is worth the risk of ruining everything for the feisty woman heâs come to admire.
