The best thing about Lady Lucy-Anne Lumley's visit to her sister's American farm is the next-door neighbor, Kit Pennington. Too bad he’s as stubborn as her brothers when it comes to believing women can train good racehorses. How can she convince him he's not complete without the love of the woman he thinks is the bane of his existence? Thanks to the mother who abandoned him and his siblings, Kit knows enough about the gently bred women of English aristocracy, and he's sworn to steer clear of them. Besides, he's too busy for love, with the management of the family farm, establishing himself as a successful racehorse owner, and caring for his younger siblings. Yet everywhere he turns, Lady Lucy-Anne is underfoot, determined to tell him how to properly train his racehorses. And she appears to be weakening the defenses around his heart. Can Kit remain strong enough against Lucy-Anne's wiles until she tires of the rough farm life and returns to her life of ballrooms and titled bachelors in England, or will he suffer the same fate as his father and have to choose between his lifestyle and hers?
