The winner's circle

She let pride get in the way of love . . .

Owner of a Kentucky horse farm, Courtney Clonninger is determined to succeed in a world dominated by men - even when she finds herself crushed by debt. Though Idle Hour Farm is her legacy and her life, pride won't let her turn to anyone for help - especially not sexy horse salesman Seth Cameron.

... until he taught her how to trust

Seth Cameron would just as soon steer clear of Courtney's fiery temper. And yet, there's something about the challenge in her eyes that makes him want to settle her problems on his own strong shoulders. The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes it's going to take a lot of smooth talking to get her to accept his help - and his love. And he's more than ready to try.
