Racing Silks & Cowboy Boots

Elizabeth Stewart grew up with race horses on her father's farm, but when he told her to either marry the man he chose for her or move out, she chose to leave. Elizabeth answered an ad in the newspaper for a wealthy rancher in Santa Fe, New Mexico who was seeking a wife. Without knowing the type of man she'd agreed to marry, she traveled to Santa Fe and fell in love with the town, the ranch, and the ranch foreman.... but not the wealthy man she married. Her newlywed husband was older than Elizabeth by over thirty years and constantly compared her to his deceased wife. Known around Santa Fe as a tough businessman, Albert Warburton was also mean as a rattlesnake and abusive to Elizabeth. Lonely for company, Elizabeth became friendly with the ranch foreman, Caedmon MacMillan. Desperate for love and affection, Elizabeth began an affair with Caedmon right under Albert's nose. When Caedmon saw the physical abuse that Elizabeth was forced to live with, he taught her how to handle a gun and protect herself. He just never thought the constant abuse would end the dramatic way it did, or that the future would be so much better, living in a paradise with the woman he loved and the millions she inherited. Making a life together, Caedmon and Elizabeth find humor in everything and surround themselves with friends as they bring the exciting sport of horse racing to old Santa Fe. A story that will make you cheer for a very strong woman who takes matters into her own hands, and laugh until tears roll down your face!
