Über dieses E-Book

When she rides Dantes into the winners circle for him at Newmarket Racecourse in England, Fiona Kent becomes involved with the enigmatic British aristocrat, Viscount Adrian Harrington. Fiona is not only a talented jockey, but she is beautiful and vulnerable. Her relationship with Adrian becomes strained by a series of violent events. She becomes inextricably tied to Adrian, knowing he is working secretly in international affairs for the British government. A brief respite from danger and a growing affection for an American veterinarian, Mark McLennan, further complicates Fionas life. But Mark becomes a false haven from danger, and only murder can resolve the affair.
