But thanks to her new haircut, makeup, and contact lenses, Savannah looks like a whole new girl when she returns from a year at boarding school. But Jack has been dating the beloved daughter of one of Mr. Goodwin's potential business partners. Seeing his son's relationship as crucial to a multi-million dollar racetrack deal, Mr. Goodwin will do anything to keep Jack and Savannah apart. On top of it all, Savannah is trying to figure out how to tell her father she doesn't want to go to college. Her mother died of breast cancer when Savannah was eleven years old, and all she wanted was for her daughter to get a good education. Her dad isn't about to let his daughter give up college so she can race horses...Will Savannah keep all her promises
"Kenneally has established herself as a writer of romances with some interesting complexity along with the swooning, and there's certainly plenty of swooning and steamy pleasure here. Additionally, Savannah herself is genuinely brash and not just saucy, and the Tennessee milieu is vividly evoked." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Kenneally's equestrian-themed romance is energized by another winning heroine . . . Kenneally's story about considering the importance of one's own happiness should appeal to a wide audience; despite some bumps in the road, there's never any doubt that all will end well." - Publishers Weekly
"The author's knack for weaving forbidden romance, breezy dialogue, and details of this lesser-known sports venue places it in the winner's circle for reluctant readers and chick-lit fans." - Booklist
Growing up in Tennessee, MIRANDA KENNEALLY dreamed of becoming an Atlanta Brave, a country singer (cliche!), or a UN interpreter. Instead she writes and works for the State Department in Washington, D.C., where George W. Bush once used her shoulder as an armrest. Miranda loves Twitter, Star Trek and her husband.
