Paperback. When legendary polo player Carlos Del Campo's will is read to his grieving family they're shocked to discover he has a daughter, Antonia, he'd never mentioned. Not long after this revelation, Carlos' eldest son, Alejandro, sets out to find his long-lost half-sister.

Having always dreamt of one day being reunited with her father, Antonia - better known as Noni - is heartbroken when the half-brother she's never met arrives on her doorstep with news of Carlos' death. She is struck by Alejandro's kindness towards her and, despite worrying about her outsider status, willingly accepts his offer of a job in the family polo business in Florida.

When Enzo, the Del Campos' loyal stable master, sees what a brilliant rider Noni is he's convinced she could transform the family team's lagging fortunes. But Noni isn't so sure about finally accepting her place within the Del Campo dynasty, or about what could happen if she lets Enzo into her heart . . .

Betrayal, secrets and passion all feature in this compelling novel about overcoming fear to find fulfilment. Num Pages: 272 pages. BIC Classification: FA. .
