Publisher Description
From a bestselling author, enter an elite world of 1980s Polo, full of glamour, power, and money.
Ricky France-Lynch has a large crumbling estate, a nine-goal polo handicap, and a beautiful wife who's fair game for anyone with a check book. He also has the adoration of fourteen-year-old Perdita MacLeod.
Perdita can't wait to leave her dreary school and become a polo player where the polo sets are gloriously promiscuous. But before she has time to grow up, Ricky's life explodes into tragedy, and Perdita turns into a brat who loves only her horses—and Ricky France-Lynch.
Ricky's obsession to win back his wife, and Perdita's to win both Ricky and a place as a top class polo player, take the reader on a wild journey—from Argentina, to Palm Beach and Deauville, England, and California—where the most heroic battle of all is destined to be fought—a match that is about far more than just the winning of a huge silver cup.
