What to expect
Eden Ennis is a stranger to high society. So when she turns up at the Elmsleigh House estate, determined to tell billionaire owner Troyden Castle that she is his niece, she is completely out of her depth.
Jed Harris is not only the star polo-player, he’s Troyden’s stepson. He’s also the only man she’s ever fainted at the sight of – or that could just be her allergy to horses.
Can Eden reveal her true identity and rein in the elusive Jed? In the game of love, sometimes the hardest match is the one for the heart…
