Amanda was nicknamed "The Hunter Princess" years ago, but she's so much more than a pretty blonde on horseback. Desperate to prove herself and find something more in life, she makes a rash decision, joining an equestrian riding challenge bound for TVs across America. While she's finding out that you can't believe everything you see on TV, her decision ripples across the network of horsewomen she's connected with over the years. At Seabreeze Equestrian Center, Grace begrudgingly welcomes the cameras and production crew for the new show, while taking some time out from teaching to consider her next chapter. At Cotswold Farm, Alex is watching the dismal stats of Thoroughbred horse racing and wondering if she can continue to call this sport her own. And at Briar Hill Farm, Jules is...well, she's Jules, pure and simple. But she might have to loosen up her competitive nature before this adventure is over! Join the Briar Hill Farm family for one more ride in this final volume of a multi-voice trilogy exploring the triumphs and challenges of creating a life with horses.

Every racehorse must one day retire from the track, and for Tiger, that day has arrived. Alex isn't ready for Tiger's racing days to end, but planning his next career is quickly becoming the least of her problems. An animal rights group is accusing her of involvement in a horse-abuse scandal, and with death threats arriving daily, Alexander fears for her safety. Suddenly Tiger's not the only one heading back to the farm -- Alex is stuck at home, too, with strict orders to stay away from the racetrack. Both horse and rider would rather be racing than hacking around the farm. A Thoroughbred makeover event seems like the perfect distraction, but as the activists ramp up their protests, Alex realizes she's competing for more than just a blue ribbon. She's fighting for her own reputation. This horse show could make -- or break -- her future in horse racing. Part of the Alex & Alexander Horse Racing Series, you can enjoy this book as a stand-alone novel or as part of the full series. ★ Top 3 Finalist, 2015 Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award
