Secrets. Fraud. Scandal. In the heart of horse country, power isn’t inherited—it’s weaponized.
Step into the gilded, high-stakes world of Unionville horse country, where old money hides dark secrets behind manicured hedges and centuries-old traditions. On the eve of the prestigious Willowmere Hunt, the prestigious Blackwood family faces a silent, devastating unraveling. When a four-million-dollar insurance claim on a dead elite stallion starts falling apart, and the family’s younger son mysteriously vanishes into the dark night, leaving behind a chilling warning (“Don’t trust the paperwork”), the fragile architecture of the estate begins to collapse.
Enter Maren Kane, a sharp, unyielding insurance investigator from Sentinel Equine who refuses to be fooled by pedigree or privilege. As Maren digs deeper into the forged manifests, the silent groom, and the surgical legal fraud engineered from the inside, she uncovers a terrifying web of manipulation, betrayal, and corporate greed.
