Cassie Benson has built a good life training horses in rural Cornwall. She knows the countryside, trusts her animals, and keeps things simple. Then her phone rings with an unusual request. Sy Quillan needs riding lessons. He's a Hollywood actor preparing for his next film, and he needs someone who can teach him to ride convincingly on camera. Cassie agrees to take him on as a client. When Sy arrives in Cornwall, neither expects the immediate chemistry between them. Their professional arrangement shifts into something personal. Cassie finds herself drawn to this man from a completely different world. Sy discovers something real in Cornwall that his celebrity life lacks. Their connection deepens from physical attraction into genuine love. But Cassie's roots run deep in Cornwall soil, while Sy's career demands he return to Hollywood. They must decide if their feelings can bridge the gap between two incompatible lives.
