Leaping Hearts — Jessica Bird

Her dreams are within reach--all she has to do is learn to hold on...

A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN WITH A DEFIANT spirit, A. J. Sutherland spends a small fortune on a horse with a wild reputation, and is forced to sacrifice her position at her family's stables to keep him. She plans to ride the magnificent stallion in the biggest event of the show-jumping season--and she knows she can win. But without the backing of Sutherland Stables, A.

J. learn that even in a sport full of hazards, sometimes the most dangerous thing to risk is one's heart....
