Never make a wager you can’t afford to lose...
|
|
|
|
A member of horse racing’s elite, Maddie
McCleery’s got her eye on the Triple Crown and her heart set on her
rival’s unraced colt. Owned
by the one man she can’t conquer on the track, the same man who
humiliated her in a youthful game of Truth or Dare, the colt promises
sweet victory. When he
refuses her purchase offer, and outruns her at the Kentucky Derby,
Maddie sets out to seduce Riley into selling.
In the process, she’s seduced, and agrees to a shocking bet.
The odds aren’t in her favor, and
she’s desperate for the win.
Riley Jennings wants Maddie almost more than
the Triple Crown. In his
bed, in his shower – wherever he can have her.
For two years she’s eluded him and he’s refused her offer on
his horse out of spite. Enraptured
by her post-Derby game, he learns the lengths she’ll go to for his
colt, and sees sure-fire victory. His
proposed wager stacks the odds in his favor – if her horse wins the
Preakness, he’ll accept her terms.
If his horse comes in first, they’ll negotiate his way.
But when the dust settles
on the wire just how deep is the winning purse? |

dreams were never meant
to be...

|
|
Renowned architect, Josh McDaniels,
spent ten years avoiding his hometown and the unforgettable memories of
his youth. But when a
former classmate phones him before Christmas with a proposal he can’t
refuse, he finds himself back in small-town, Lexington, Missouri,
surrounded by holiday festivities and engulfed in memories of a
blue-eyed girl.
Amanda Masterson knows three things
about Josh. She loves him,
he loves her, and he’ll walk out when those feelings terrify him, as
he always does. Ten years
ago, he abandoned their dreams. Eight
years ago, he returned to break her heart again.
Now, he’s back once more, and this time, he’s jeopardizing
not only her heart but her daughter’s as well.
Can
the spirit of Christmas overcome a past riddled with mistakes?
Or will fears and doubts destroy the greatest gift of
all?

Childhood
hatred fired their blood.
Yet,
a Valentine's Day experiment inflames
their hearts...
|
|
|
|
When
Lucas Benning relocated to Kansas City, his best friend’s
sister became his roommate.
Problem is, they’ve despised each other since he cut
off her hair when she was fifteen.
But with Valentines Day looming, his sentimental side
can’t accept Olivia’s jaded perspective the holiday’s for
fools. He vows to
prove romance doesn’t go hand-in-hand with sex.
Except, a game he starts to prove a point awakens a
frightening passion he can’t escape.
Eccentric artist, Olivia
McDaniels, finds Lucas’
proposal laughable. Yet,
when her brother commissions a portrait of Lucas, she sees a
different side of the man--tender and selfless. To her horror,
he chips away at the walls around her heart.
Only, Lucas belongs to another woman, and the feelings he
stirs can only lead to pain.
As the holiday arrives, will Cupid’s arrows forge a
timeless bridge between their differences, or will they
eternally miss their mark?

A
winter snowstorm. A horse with a past.
A woman who has
everything riding on the line.
One
man holds the ability to fulfill her dreams...
If
he can vanquish the nightmares.
|
|
|
|
Gabrielle Warrenton gave up
everything to pursue her dream of a first-class Egyptian Arabian
breeding farm. Her
future lies in her new stallion’s success.
Though she possesses an exceptional eye for horseflesh,
she lacks the training knowledge, and Bahadur Mamoon has a date
with the nation’s most affluent show in three weeks.
Nothing that would present a problem given his previous
credentials. Only,
the sellers disguised one critical fact—he’s crazy.
Jake Lindsey-Sullivan was once
part of an exceptional Arabian training team.
Under his mother’s guidance, he developed an
instinctual talent, but she was the star, the cornerstone of his
life. Until she met
a premature death. Grief-stricken
and plagued by guilt, Jake abandoned the world of horses.
Now an over-the-road truck driver, he evades the
memories.
When a snowstorm throws two
Arabian professionals into close-quarters, they discover an
engulfing passion. But
will Mamoon rip open emotional scars, or forever seal them shut?

A
CHRISTMAS TO BELIEVE IN

When
a man's dreams are in ruin,
All
he needs is someone to believe...
|
|
|
|
Struggling Thoroughbred breeder, Clint King,
hasn’t been home for Christmas in five years.
Like his brothers, Alex and Heath, life has kept him away.
Clint’s farm is barely hanging on.
His prize mare's due to foal any day, and in the wake of his
father’s death, Clint can’t stand the idea of returning.
The memories are too much, let alone his father’s imposing
shadow. Except, Alex is
getting married on Christmas Eve, and their mother’s put her foot
down. She’ll have her boys
at home. With his mare in
tow behind him, Clint prepares to meet a sister he’s never known and
Alex’s unexpected triplets. The
one salvation he looks forward to is childhood companion, tomboy Jesse
Saurs. Yet
when he reunites with Jesse, he uncomfortably discovers she’s
become all woman.
Jesse Saurs has everything she needs –
financial security, a home, and a foster child who’s about to
become her son. She’s
spent two years breaking down Ethan’s emotional barriers, and
with the final hearing scheduled just before Christmas, this
year promises to make his dreams come true.
When she learns Clint and his brothers are returning, she
anticipates a holiday reunion that’s sure to entertain Ethan.
But on the night of Clint’s return, the ‘brother’
she expected leaves her trembling after just a single hug.
Even worse, Ethan makes it clear Clint's not welcome.
Will
this Christmas destroy
what's left of hopes and dreams, or will it give the three the
gift they've all been longing for?
