When Kelsey discovers her supposedly deceased mother is alive and freshly released from prison for murder, she travels to a Virginia thoroughbred farm hoping to untangle decades of lies and betrayal. As she and her mother tentatively rebuild their fractured bond, Kelsey finds herself unexpectedly drawn to someone new—but the question of who truly caused her mother's downfall lingers, making it dangerously hard to know who to trust. Between family secrets, high-stakes racing drama, and a romance that ignites despite her better judgment, Kelsey must decide what she's willing to forgive and whether love is worth the risk of another heartbreak. This is classic Nora Roberts: messy, complicated relationships wrapped in atmospheric romance.
