Destiny might be the fastest thoroughbred horse in all of Southern England, but will her speed be enough to save Kit Carlyle from a marriage of convenience?
When the notorious rake Viscount Alistair Upshire offers to forgive Kit’s father’s crushing debt in exchange for her hand in marriage, Kit faces a future bound to a man she despises. With her heart belonging to Marcus, the younger son of the Earl of Roxboro, she is determined to forestall the marriage.
Just when all seems lost, Spectral Tillie, Kit’s loyal Aberdeen Terrier from beyond the grave, returns to aid her. With Tillie’s spectral guidance, Kit concocts a daring plan: she will ride Destiny to victory at Epsom disguised as her twin brother James. Not only will a win expose Upshire’s corruption in the horse racing world, but it will secure Kit’s freedom to marry for love.
