Miss Arabella Stratham inherited a racing stud, a fortune, and one infuriating problem.
Gabriel Mercer.
Her late father's formidable head trainer has opinions about everything-her horses, her decisions, and especially the brilliant young racehorse Arabella is determined to send to victory.
Gabriel thinks Tempest is being pushed too fast.
Arabella thinks Gabriel has forgotten who owns the stable.
Neither intends to yield.
So they make a wager.
Gabriel will train Tempest his way. If the horse wins, Arabella proves she has what it takes to command Stratham Stud. If he fails, she must follow Gabriel's training plan for an entire year.
Working together should settle the argument.
Instead, early mornings in the training yard turn professional rivalry into something far more dangerous.
Because beneath Gabriel's infuriating control is a man who challenges Arabella like no gentleman ever has-and beneath Arabella's sharp tongue is exactly the kind of woman Gabriel knows he should never want.
Then someone begins sabotaging the stud.
Poisoned feed. A stolen horse. Missing breeding records tied to Gabriel's scandalous past.
Suddenly Arabella must decide whether the man sharing her secrets-and her bed-is the one person she can trust...or the greatest risk she has taken yet.
With her inheritance, Tempest's future, and her heart all riding on one season, Arabella is about to discover that taking the reins is easy.
Knowing when to trust someone else with them is considerably harder.
The Heiress Takes the Reins is a steamy Regency historical romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, a wealthy breeding heiress, her dangerously competent horse trainer, class differences, forced proximity, sabotage, racing stakes, and plenty of heat.
Book Two in The Newmarket Scandals series. Each book features a complete romance.
