Chase Trotter has a secret.

And something to prove. And he's not willing to give it up to appease Marie. But he's not as unaffected by the fiery stable manager as he pretends to be.

The least he can do before he gives her the boot is find the one person she never knew existed.

Marie Colton's dead father left a bombshell in his wake that left her reeling. Now she is seconds away from discovering she's losing her job and the only home she has ever known.

But she's not going without a fight.

She'll help Chase and his stable win the Carolina Cup and solidify her worth. As their attraction grows, so do the lies until Marie doesn't know what to believe or who to trust.

Miss Sadie's powerful pies will have to work twice as hard when Chase and Marie's worlds collide. Will they be able to untangle the webs of distrust and find love? Or will the naysayers win?
