A Run at Love
Book 2 of the Love in the Spotlight series
A determined Black equestrian pursues a future in horse racing while navigating a sport shaped by money, tradition, and people who underestimate her. A developing romance complicates professional boundaries without replacing the heroine's hard-earned ambitions. Family, faith, and the risks of competition test whether love can support a calling rather than demand its surrender. Energetic and heartfelt, this contemporary Christian romance suits readers who enjoy horses, sports settings, ambitious heroines, and relationships built around mutual respect.
