Ashley grew up on a horse ranch, and can't imagine life outside of one. She spent her teenage years and into her early twenties as an accomplished jockey, often leaving many of her would-be competitors choking on her ride's dust clouds. Only, the older she gets, the more she realizes it's time for another occupation. When she gets offered a job as a part-time jockey and full-time horse trainer at billionaire Max Baker's ranch, how can she afford to refuse? Little does she know that horse training isn't the only thing the illustrious Mr. Baker wants Ashley for. He's thinking her new job needs to include some rough and hard riding, and, like any Old West cowboy, he wants to do it bareback without protection.
