Deal Ends: Mon 12th October

She’s always been able to outrun life’s storms, but she needs to face the next one. Maggie has spent her life in the saddle, chasing speed and the sweet thrill of victory. A rodeo competitor and quarter horse rider, she’s ready to follow her dream to become a thoroughbred jockey. When David, the man she’d planned to marry, forces her to choose between him and her dream. Maggie chooses the racetrack and heads to California with her best friend, Johnny, a steady, big-hearted bronc rider who’s always had her back. With his help she lands a spot with a respected trainer and discovers the excitement of thoroughbred racing, even as she comes face to face with the darker side of racing. As rivalries on the track heat up and betrayal shows up in the barns, David arrives, intent on luring Maggie back to New Jersey and their former life together. David and Johnny are as different as the horses they relate to. David is well-mannered and impeccably groomed. Johnny is wild and headstrong. Maggie is a little of both. Fiercely loyal, she’s caught between a past that keeps calling and a future that promises fulfilment. When an innocent kiss with Johnny ignites a wildfire, Maggie fears crossing that line will cost her the only friendship that’s never failed her and she pushes him away. But the cowboy won’t let go easily. Once again, Maggie must choose.
