1890. The Steel Ball Run stretches from San Diego to New York, a brutal contest where survival is as crucial as speed. Diego Brando, the genius jockey, cares for nothing but victory. As evening bleeds into night, he secures Silver Bullet, confident in his lead, and kindles a fire. Then, hoofbeats echo from the darkness behind him. He turns, annoyance sharpening his features, to find a rider closing the distance. In the failing light, the silhouette resolves into a woman—gorgeous, mysterious, and a threat now standing at the edge of his camp.
