Royce Washburn and Charlie Dowes had been the "it" couple of the horse racing world until a track side accident ended the career of one of his most promising horses. After her recovery, Charlie went on with her life, going to vet school and then opening up Meadowbrook After Care, a rescue for race horses whose careers had ended. In the close world of horse racing, she kept up with Royce's career, so when she ends up with one of his horses it's time for Charlie to face the past...and the man she never stopped loving.
Royce Washburn worked hard to make his name in the horse racing world in spite of his family's world famous breeding operation. Some said he got where he was on his name alone. He knew better, and he'd prove them wrong. But his breakup with Charlie has haunted him ever since and when one of his favorite horses needs rehabilitation, he can think of no one better to care for him. Perhaps, she can heal his horse and his heart.
Can they overcome their past to see the future that lays before them before it's too late?

Two souls needing a fresh start.
Matias arrives in Ireland to help out his brother and maybe find somewhere he'd be valued for himself--not the Lucien name. He doesn't count on a feisty Irish single-mother who needs a helping hand or the fact that he's exactly where he needs and wants to be. Can he overcome a lifetime of feeling smothered by his family only to step into another?
Fiona struggled with her late husband's work of training racehorses. She knows how dangerous they are and she vowed never to get involved with another horseman again. Then she meets Matias. Her sister-in-law had found love with a member of the Argentine Lucien family. Could she? And when Matias has her thinking about things she'd never believed before, including happy endings, can she follow her heart, even if it seems it's galloping toward the very thing she never thought she wanted?
