"Jockeys and Jewels is a sparkling jewel of a romance--clever, entertaining, and touching." --Julianne MacLean, USA Today Bestselling Author"

Kurt MacKinnon resists being dragged back into undercover work. But when his former partner is murdered, he ships his third-string Thoroughbreds to the backwater track where his friend was last seen alive. He vows to make someone pay, even if the killer turns out to be a talented lady rider with a smoking hot body and a disarming smile.

Julie West is chasing an elusive win, struggling to gain entry into the jockey ranks. There's no time for love, but even she can't ignore the magnetic new trainer in town. She agrees 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 hot-blooded colt to flourish under Julie's deft touch or for his own jaded heart to soften. But when his investigation tightens around the truth, can he keep the woman he loves safe?
