    About this ebook

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers a thrilling story of family secrets and unexpected passions, set against the high-stakes world of championship thoroughbred racing.

    Kelsey Byden always believed that her mother was dead. But now, after all this time, she has discovered the truth: Naomi Chadwick is still alive—after spending years in prison for the murder of her lover.

    Now, at Naomi’s Virginia horse farm, Kelsey is trying to sort out a lifetime of deception—and her feelings about her mother. The bonds of love can be fragile...as Kelsey learned from her recently ended marriage. But as the two women rebuild their relationship—and Kelsey finds herself swept into an unsettling new romance—she must decide once and for all who she can trust, and who threatens to betray her....

    • 5/5
      Kelly Byden believed her mother was dead until she found out that she owned a horse ranch. Kelly decides to get to know her mother by staying with her at the ranch for a while. Durig the time she is there, she learns a lot about her family and herself.
    • 3/5
      This story was okay but got into so many horse racing details that I started skimming. The plot was interesting but the amount of bad things happening was a bit too much and stretched belief. Kelsey learns her mother is alive and visits her mothers horse farm where she meets neighbor Gabe.
    • 4/5
      Kelsey Byden signed her divorce papers and learned her long-dead mother wasn't dead on the same day. Torn between pleasing the only family she's ever known and finding out more about the mother she never has, Kelsey takes the plunge. Her mother's Virginia horse farm proves surprisingly intriguing - as does her mother, and her mother's handsome neighbor. But sometimes the past has a way of coming back to haunt the present, and when a groom turns up dead and a horse drugged, suspicion mounts and why?Roberts takes fewer liberties with the sport of kings than I expected. Hadn't read this one in a long time, but found it just as enjoyable as ever.
    • 4/5
      Kelsey discovers her long dead mother is really alive. She enters the fast paced world of horse racing, and finds not only her mother but a neighbor who changes her life.
    • 5/5
      I hated, hated, hated Grandma Byden. Other than that, it was a good story, some nice intrigue.
    • 4/5
      Kelsey Byden always believed that her mother is dead, now, as an adult she discovers that indeed her mother is alive and was in jail for murder. Kelsey goes to meet her mother and meet some of her demons. When the truth starts to unfold is she prepared for what that will say about her. Along the way she meets Gabe, will she be able to live with his past as well.Perhaps slightly too long it's still an interesting Nora Roberts romp.
