Ending a family feud and obtaining a fine horse aren’t the only prizes for unraveling the mystery behind a missing heirloom.
Miss Seraphina Taylor would love to prove her worth to those around her, but she simply cannot turn down a challenge—which lands her in trouble…again. In her attempts to turn her luck around, she falls upon an opportunity to win herself a horse. So, she strikes a bargain with her family’s enemy: gentleman next door.
Mr. James Anderton has a secret—which his meddling neighbor discovers and uses as blackmail. He must decide how much he is willing to risk to protect his reputation and his family. A horse? Easily done. His heart? That quickly becomes more complicated.
But how do two people who are forbidden to acknowledge one another avoid being discovered working together? By breaking some of the strictest rules they’ve ever been taught and solving a mystery as old as their grandparents. Failure would result in more than one broken heart.
