A Passion in the Blood — Arabella Seymour

When a Woman's Dream Becomes an Obsession...

Dressed in a boy's ragged riding breeches, she slipped into the racing stables of Lord Russell's luxurious estate. But patches and tatters couldn't hide Anna Brodie's radiant beauty and passion. She was Sir Edward Brodie's illegitimate daughter...a woman afire with the impossible dream of inheriting the riches of the father who disowned her...a woman daring to enter her own thoroughbreds in the Derby at Epsom Downs...a woman fated to rise from the terrible poverty of her childhood to the highest pinnacle of wealth and power. There, amid the dramatic pageantry and breathtaking excitement of England's horseracing world, her ambitions would become an obsession that could destroy her. While in his stables, the dashing Lord Russell would gaze into Anna's blazing eyes -- and discover his destiny and his heart.
