Good Things Come: 1

Dr Tony Ryan Book Award Finalist for excellence in Thoroughbred racing literature. If Liv wasn’t such a control freak, it wouldn’t have rubbed her the wrong way when new exercise rider Nate Miller stepped in to revive Chique, the newborn foal she’d just finessed through a difficult birth. But when she finally works up the nerve to drop out of vet school and get her jockey’s license in New York — intent on being ready to ride Chique in Canada’s most prestigious race in three years — Nate’s the obvious choice to keep an eye on the filly. Just as well she's leaving him behind. Nate's just the kind of distraction she can't afford as a woman trying to make it in a man's world. She doesn’t expect her career to fall apart, leaving her torn between her dreams and the undeniable bond between Nate and Chique. Even harder to accept are her growing feelings for him — but how many times can she talk herself out of them before admitting their futures are irrefutably entwined? Perfect for fans of the movies Seabiscuit and Secretariat — and everyone who grew up reading The Black Stallion and Thoroughbred series, but want something a little more grown-up! Content notes: clean, slow-burn romance; some strong language. Suitable for ages 14 & up.
