Stella O’Rourke is determined to escape her humble beginnings and when she meets handsome property developer and horse-owner Rory McFadden, she thinks he’s the ticket to the life she wants – so she ignores his arrogance, bad manners and suffocating jealousy. Her friend Amber thinks love is all about fate, but a string of user boyfriends, her dead-end badly paid job and gigantic credit-card bills are putting real pressure on her faith in human nature. Then struggling horse-trainer Henry Murphy comes crashing into Stella’s life. Just why does her stomach flutter when she knows their friendship can never lead to anything? She couldn’t end up with a man who wears a hacking jacket and drives a rattling jeep that smells of horses. Or could she? It’s time that Amber started living in the real world and that Stella realised all that glitters is not necessarily gold, but it’s hard when you believe millionaires are a girl’s best friend.
