Her own father had sold her out!

When 23 year old Natalie Drummond's father was told by the doctor to "take it easy," she expected him to give her a full partnership in his Wintersgarth training stables. After all, she'd been running it successfully while he was in the hospital.

But when he came home her hopes were completely dashed--he had sold the partnership to 32 year old Eliot Lang, the handsome notorious playboy of the horse racing world.

Despite the immediate and unwanted attraction Natalie felt for Eliot, her resentment at her father's betrayal continued to grow. Especially when Eliot seemed to think that she was part of the deal!
