An unbroken horse, a broken man, an estate that needed her
Virginia, 1854. Once a privileged son of the South, Hunter Calhoun now stands a widower shadowed by the scandal of his wife’s death. Burying himself in his success with breeding Thoroughbred racehorses, he has left his family to crumble and forgotten how to comfort his grieving children.
When a prized stallion arrives from Ireland crazed from its sea voyage and unridable, Hunter is forced to seek help for the beast. Removed from the world of wealth and social privilege, Eliza Fylte has inherited her father’s famed gift for gentling horses. And when Hunter arrives with his wild steed, her healing spirit reaches further yet, drawing her to his shattered family and to the intense, bitter man who needs her, just as she needs him.
Eliza understands what Hunter refuses to see, that love is the greatest healer of all. But can her kind, humble being manage to teach such an untethered man what truly matters in life?

“In this novel…the cynical hero who has nearly given up on life is balanced by a heroine who has enough faith and wisdom for them both. The plot, blessedly free of clichés, is unusual; just when the conclusion seems obvious, Wiggs tosses the reader a curve and with a few deft twists and turns, pulls off a terrific surprise ending. If you’re only going to read one historical romance this week, make it this one. You’ll be so glad you did.”
