Bookroo's summary

Christina Reese, living in the shadow of her famous jockey mother, dreams of being an Event rider, not a jockey. When she encounters Sterling Dream, a gray mare forced into racing, Christina faces a choice: conform to family expectations or risk everything for her own path. Will she dare to follow her heart and take a chance on a horse that mirrors her own rebellious spirit? As Christina grapples with her desires and the pressures around her, she must decide if she's willing to gamble her future on a dream that could change everything.
