Racing Hearts — Melissa West

In the lush heart of Kentucky, the Hamiltons are racing royalty, horse breeders born to produce champions. To win takes heart and soul -- and to love takes the wild spirit of the land itself…

The oldest of three headstrong brothers, Trip Hamilton is considered the best horse trainer in the world. But training riders is a different story, one that ended in tragedy when he worked with a jockey who was also his best friend. Trip won't make the same mistake twice -- until a stubborn, sexy rider thunders into his life, breaks his resolve -- along with several of his rules -- and takes his heart right out of the gate…

Emery Carlisle has a point to prove. She'll be the first woman to win the prestigious Kentucky Derby, if only Trip will sell her the right filly. He won't -- unless she agrees to train with the horse at Hamilton Ranch, under his guidance. It's supposed to be strictly business, but as the race approaches, and their undeniable chemistry builds, Trip and Emery may be headed for the greatest win of all -- as long as the losses of the past don't gain on them…
