A brand-new Merindah Park story about second chances and risking it all for love. Her best friend's brother and a betting scam. Can the rules be broken to help a friend, or will it only be hearts that are broken? Jockey Rachel Bassett has worked hard to prove herself in the male-dominated racing world, and on the day of her greatest success, her first group one winner, her world comes crashing down when a public breakup with her girlfriend leaves her temporarily homeless. When her friend offers her a place to stay, she doesn't want to spend any time with Allira's handsome brother, but when his friend gets involved in a racing scandal, she has a decision to make. Footy player Jacob Mullagh has a loving family who nurtured his athletic career. He cares deeply for his sister and his friends, while working hard on maintaining a clean image. His sister's new housemate is an athlete who is almost perfect for him, except for one thing: she's the opposite to all the strong, nurturing women in his life - bold, brash, prickly. When some of Jacob's mates get involved in a punter's club gone wrong, and Rachel is accused of breaking the rules of racing, Jacob must choose between helping his friends, believing in Rachel, or keeping his clean image.
