"JoAnn Ross triumphs again!" said Romantic Times Book Reviews of Fair Haven. Now the talented author returns to the bewitching Irish countryside in this irresistible tale of love's extraordinary possibilities.
In the exclusive world of horse racing, Alec MacKenna is known as a hardheaded trainer who cares more for an animal's welfare than the financial bottom line. After a public altercation with a callous owner leaves his career on the brink of ruin, Alec's only chance for redemption is Legends Lake, a thoroughbred with Triple Crown potential and a dangerous problem that could end both of their careers. Alec escorts the colt from the bluegrass hills of Kentucky to the emerald pastures of Ireland to meet the woman who bred him, in hopes that she may have the answers that will save them.

Kate O'Sullivan is happy to see her beloved horse come home, even under such disturbing circumstances. In spite of the irascible Yank who came with him, she has the feeling that something in her life is about to change forever. As Alec and Kate work to unravel the mystery of Legends Lake, they discover their shared concern for the troubled racehorse could turn into something extraordinary for each other.

      When horse-trainer Alec MacKenna rejects the instructions of an influential employer in the interests of an animal's health, his once-thriving business takes a turn for the worse. Then an old friend asks him to train Legends Lake, an awkward but lightning-fast stallion with a tendency to bolt off the racetrack. Alec's stepdaughter Zoe, daughter of his recently deceased ex-wife, is just as wild. In a desperate attempt to heal both horse and teenager, Alec takes Zoe and Legends Lake to Kate O'Sullivan's Irish stud farm, where the horse was bred. Kate is a successful businesswoman and a single mom who, thanks to Ireland's old-fashioned divorce laws, is still legally married to her violent husband. At first, Alec is befuddled by Kate's mix of horse sense, druid magic and feminine vulnerability, but sexual sparks fly between the two. Only Kate's marital status stands in the way. Covering terrain similar to that of Nora Roberts's Irish trilogies, Ross (Far Harbor, Legacy of Lies) spins a warm romance amid a setting loaded with charm. The horse-racing story line seems a bit implausible, but Ross's insight into both romantic attraction and family dynamics is striking.
