He healed her heart with a horse. Will he break it again?

Amelia Scott hasn't ridden since an accident put her in a wheelchair two years ago. Her small world is smothered by an over-protective mother ? until a winter stay on Sinclair Island reacquaints her with the scents of hay and horses at her aunt's stables.

Leon Hudson first glimpses the beautiful girl through a harbor café window, then finds her again at the barn. Despite her disability, he draws her into stable life, giving her a sense of longed-for normalcy.

Then he introduces Paprika ? a striking Appaloosa gelding who becomes Amelia's beloved partner in reclaiming the impossible.

But not everyone believes in second chances.

Amelia's mother is convinced Leon is hiding a perilous secret, and her fears culminate in a shocking accusation that shatters everything. Leon disappears, Paprika is about to be taken away, and Amelia is left questioning her heart ? and her judgment.

Was she foolish to trust him? Or is the truth far more complicated than she's been led to believe?

Amelia must decide whether to retreat into the safety of her parents' home ... or stay on the island and risk everything for the promise of love and a life she never imagined could be hers.
