A DARING DECISION COULD COST HER EVERYTHING...
When Cassie Rosse becomes the first woman to train an English Derby winner with her horse, The Nightingale, she has every right to believe that success is hers at last.
But life will never be simple for Cassie Rosse, not just because she is unable to move out from the long shadows cast by the early death of her husband, Tyrone, nor because she has an indomitable will to win in the man's world of racing, but because she has integrity.
Against all advice, therefore, she decides to keep The Nightingale in training and race him as a four-year-old, a decision that triggers a set of circumstances which quickly turn her brilliant triumph into a nightmare...
