An earl on a mission of redemption
The surly Earl of Fordham is determined to rehabilitate the estate his father left in ruins. But it will take careful planning, focus, and more than a little luck.

A headstrong young woman searching for purpose
When Daniela Rames rides into Newmarket, torn from her family and her home, she is grasping for some shadow of her old life. And she finds it aboard Newmarket’s most notoriously difficult racehorse. But in the arms of the horse’s owner, she finds something completely new and unexpected.

Horrified to discover the identity of the new exercise rider in his employ but desperate to protect his investment, Eric is drawn into Daniela’s deception. As the trust between them grows, so does their attraction. But nefarious forces are determined to keep their beloved horse from winning – and Daniela and Eric will each be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice …

One Race to Ruin is a steamy secret identity Regency romance. It is the first book in Cara Maxwell’s new series, Racing Rogues.
