Nate fled his hometown with a shattered heart and a bitter taste in his mouth, his only plan to leave it far, far behind.

Finding a farm job with an apartment feels like the first good thing to happen to him all year, even if the young woman interviewing him looks at him like she thinks he won't last. Maybe she's right.

Liv Lachance doesn't hire Nate Miller because he's both good-looking and good with horses. She doesn't want him around at all. It should be her starting the yearlings, not him. Instead, she's stuck dealing with the overwhelm of third-year veterinary school, fulfilling her duty rather than following her dream of riding racehorses.

As Nate starts finding his footing, Liv questions if he'll stick around. If he leaves, her father will send the yearlings away for training - including Claire, the filly who's become her emotional support, holding her together through the stress of her studies.

So now, the problem is, she needs the guy, more than she cares to admit -- and she'll have to let down her guard enough to ask him to stay, or lose the one thing that grounds her.

Welcome to the world of Good Things Come -- an intimate, emotionally charged ride through the highs and lows of chasing dreams in the world of Thoroughbred racing. For fans of the movies Seabiscuit and Secretariat, and everyone who grew up reading The Black Stallion and Thoroughbred series, but want something a little more grown-up!
