Hardened cop Kurt has no intention of returning to undercover work. But when his former partner is murdered, he rushes to the backwater track where his friend was last seen alive. He intends to make someone pay, even if the killer turns out to be a talented rider with a smoking hot body and a disarming smile.

Down-on-her luck jockey Julie is chasing a big win, struggling to climb the rider ranks. She jumps at the chance to work for Kurt, never suspecting she's already a person of interest—and it's not because of her riding skills.

Kurt never expected his spirited colt to flourish under Julie's deft touch or for his own cynical heart to soften. But when his investigation tightens around the truth, will he be able to protect the woman he's falling for?
