Lexie is uncovering a century-old secret-but falling for Alex, and the secrets he's keeping, may be the one risk she never saw coming.
Journalist Lexie Keller only wanted to give her best friend Ivy an unforgettable bachelorette trip.
But when a visit to a mysterious island off Florida's coast leads to a herd of shipwrecked wild horses and something buried for more than a century, Lexie knows she has found more than a career-changing story-she may have found Wellington's oldest secret.
The only thing more complicated than the mystery is Alex.
Wealthy, guarded, and far too polished for the ordinary life he claims to be living, Alex is now her co-worker at The Wellington Equestrian Magazine-which is made even worse by the fact that Lexie met him the night before in a bar, moments after her ex broke up with her in a parking lot.
Alex is everything Lexie should avoid-and exactly the kind of man she is determined not to trust. He moves through Wellington's most exclusive circles as if he belongs there and has an infuriating way of seeing through every wall she's built.
He may also be the only person with the access she needs to find the clues, uncover the truth and chase the story that could define her career.
But the closer Lexie gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the dangerous pull between them-or the unsettling feeling that Alex still knows more than he's willing to admit.
To expose what's been buried for a century, Lexie will have to keep working with the guarded man she can't quite trust-and may not be able to walk away from.
