The equine bloodlines developed by Janet Johnson at Green Lodge Stud Farm are the secret of her brilliant success. Her human bloodlines are a secret too, but they would lead to turmoil, strife and dismal failure. The dream of nineteen-year-old, penniless, stable lad, Ricky Barker, to one day own a stud farm, takes an unexpected turn with the chance discovery that his wealthy Farmer/Politician boss is not the Sam McArdy he thought he was. It is the first step on an incredible journey that would lead him to Gillian Johnson, and change their lives forever. Two years of adventure, excitement, ecstasy, pain and passion would follow, but his cherished dream, and Gillian's true love, are the powerful strengths that bring them through.
