Meeting Edward Monterrose might be the best shot he has at hitting the big time. Edward Monterrose doesn't have time for a relationship. He's too busy with his horses and students.

The two men come from different worlds yet discover they have more in common than they thought. Yet will their relationship last when they're apart for months on end?
