Ruffian
(eBook)
Description
60 seconds out of the starting gate, Jockey Syd Paul is riding for her life. Blindsided, she's attacked during a race by a fellow jockey and friend. Forced to fight for her life atop a fast and furious thousand pound horse galloping at top speed, Syd struggles, fighting in disbelief, while only inches away, the other jockey falls to his death. Shocked and battered and without a moment to think, she turns from the nightmare behind her toward the finish line just ahead, and wins the race. Bloodied and beaten into a bruised lump of flesh, Syd finds herself dazed and standing in the winner's circle, flashing back at what just happened. WTF, she thinks, watching the instant replay unfold like bad reality tv. From the video replay, there's no question. Syd looks guilty as the gates burst open just like a hundred times before. Only this time Syd battled another jockey to the death and then went on to win. Bleeding and head swimming, the single question remains: Why did my friend attack me? She finds a shocking truth: Some unidentified person will go to any length to control the jockeys and the outcome of certain races. One jockey has died and others will follow. Syd is forced to accept help from police detective, Joe McQueen. He's drop dead gorgeous with the tenacity of a pit bull and the sensibility of a good ol' boy. Unsure of placing her life and her future into the hands of a complete stranger, (McQueen), Syd sets out to find the answers and keep herself safe, knowing she's only one golden ticket away from her dream of riding in the Kentucky Derby, but in the next race, she'll be riding not only for her career, but also, for her life.
