SABOTAGE ABROAD. A LAND GRAB AT HOME. ONE TRUTH TIES THEM TOGETHER.
Jack Boen has nineteen years, a lifelong dream to race a great horse, and a quiet weight he carries that no one else can see.
When a false manslaughter charge falls on his Sioux friend, Amos, Jack's mother, Emilie, convinces Jack to take Amos across the Atlantic on a journey already planned, delivering a prized thoroughbred to the Scottish uncle Jack has never met. Together, Jack and Amos set out for McKendrick Manor - Jack's uncle's stud farm, and the legacy his mother left behind.
Jack thinks they've arrived somewhere safe. He's wrong.
A champion stallion is found dead in its stall. A barn burns to the ground overnight. Someone wants the Manor's stables - and its reputation - destroyed, and as the Grand National Steeplechase draws closer, suspicion spreads through the Scottish gentry like wildfire. With Amos at his side, Jack begins to dig for the truth - even as old doubts whisper that he isn't the one who should be trusted to find it. Along the way, he meets a woman who makes the idea of ever leaving Scotland feel unthinkable.
But the past doesn't stay buried just because you've crossed an ocean.
Half a world away in Dakota Territory, a rancher with his eye on Boen land is counting down the days. When the Sisseton-Wahpeton Reservation opens to white settlement on April 15, 1892, every promise the U.S. government ever made to Jack's great-grandmother will be broken in an instant - and the only home Jack's family has left will be there for the taking.
April 15, 1892. The same day as the Grand National.
That's not a coincidence. That's a deadline.
Torn between two worlds, two unraveling conspiracies, and a love he's not ready to walk away from, Jack must untangle the truth on both sides of the Atlantic before the clock runs out. The Grand National is his one shot to prove himself and his horse - but if he can't solve both mysteries in time, he stands to lose his family's land and the only home he has left, all in a single day.
MAN OF TWO WORLDS asks the question every divided heart eventually has to answer: when the people and places you love need you in two places at once, how do you choose - and what does it cost you when you finally do?
