A Dangerous Dream

Melissa's slim, delicate beauty belies her strength and determination to succeed in her job as assistant manager at a premier Connecticut equestrian facility. Suddenly having the romantic interest of a handsome man and her career on the fast track, her dreams seem about to come true until she enters a stall one morning to find the farm manager unconscious, lying in a pool of blood. Upon awakening, he has no recollection of what happened, launching a police investigation that brings long-kept secrets of the farm's history to the surface. Throughout this upheaval Melissa finds herself drawing closer to David, one of the trainers at the barn who has a reputation for avoiding relationships like the plague. But fate can't be denied and Melissa and David deal with their intense desire for each other as they are plunged into the turmoil threatening the farm to which they've both tied their futures. When David is placed under suspicion by the police and Melissa herself is attacked, they must weave their way through intrigue and danger to protect themselves and their dreams.

1Professional proofreaders are your friend  Oct 11, 2008
By Circle Y Dark Oil
...and I wish the author had used a better proofreader. Oh my.

I wonder just how many elite H/J barns would hire someone to be an assistant manager, and then have to teach them how to count strides?

Totally unrealistic.

4A fantastic setting, romance, mystery, and suspense!  Mar 29, 2008
By LAS Reviewer "The Long and the Short Of It Reviews"
A DANGEROUS DREAM gives the reader suspense, mystery, and a fabulous setting to enjoy as love weaves its way into the lives of Melissa and David.

At the elite Deer Creek Farm the reader sees behind the scenes of the glamour and glitz of horse shows like the Grand Prix to the hard work, skill, and talent that makes grand equestrian shows possible.

Melissa's life is forever changed when she goes to Deer Creek Farm as an assistant barn manager. Early on the reader senses something is unusual about her being hired by such an elite stable. While she is not a part of this rarified world, she loves horses and is determined to use her considerable talent and skill to build a life for herself in this unique arena of life. When she encounters the reticent horse trainer David, who is just as career-oriented as she is, a subtle awareness begins to simmer.
