About this ebook

When my current dressage horse wants a change in career, I visit Nonette, a beautiful wannabe-retired racehorse at the track with great dressage potential. I find her stuck in a dark, hot stall.

I have no room for her at home and have promised my husband I won’t buy another horse until I sell the one I already have.

But poor Nonette! Having seen the conditions in which she lives, I feel obliged to rescue her. However, my husband mustn’t find out what I’m doing -- he’ll never believe I don’t intend to keep another horse.

Read on to discover how rescuing the pretty mare becomes a nightmare!

    My husband never notices things like that—and especially not when he’s rushing off to work over an hour away in D.C. What made him break out of the mold today, of all days?

    He put me on the spot. I didn’t want to lie, but neither was I about to tell him the truth.

    There was nothing wrong with the truth…it’s just that Harvey wouldn’t believe it.

    Instead there would be a fight, a big, unnecessary one. And there was no time for a fight—I was scheduled to leave in half an hour.

    I wasn’t looking forward to the three hour journey, but luckily Josie was coming with me. She’s a competent, horsey friend. If my ancient Expedition broke down or the horse went berserk in the trailer, I wouldn’t have to deal with it alone.

    Not that I had any idea what to do if either of those disasters occurred—just knowing I wouldn’t have to cope by myself was comforting.
