Hold Me Forever (Southern Secrets) D. Jackson Leigh

The note attached to her grandmother?s will has left debutante Mae St. John with this: the family fortune is gone; the father she never knew lives in Louisiana; and her only income is a modest trust fund left for the care of Big Mae?s poodle, Rhett. Hog-tied by her father?s financial predicament and mental decline, Whit Casey is not happy at being strong-armed to hire Mae, who knows nothing about quarter horse racing, to write for her racing magazine and dot-com. Still, attraction grows between the two women until Mae?s investigation into a horse cloning controversy implicates Whit and the colt she is depending on to stop the foreclosure of her father?s farm. It?s a race against time to clear the colt before the big race and claim what both women desire most in their lives—someone to hold them forever.
