More about the book:
After
the FBI suspends her for bending its rules, Special Agent Raleigh
Harmon is looking for a chance to redeem her career and re-start her
life.
Sent
undercover to a thoroughbred horse track, Raleigh takes on a double
life to find out who’s fixing the races. But when horses start dying and
then her own life is threatened, Raleigh realizes something bigger—and
more sinister—is ruining Emerald Meadows.
She’s never felt more alone.
Her
one contact with the FBI is Special Agent Jack Stephanson, a guy who
seems to jump from antagonistic to genuine friend depending on the time
of day. And she can’t turn to her family for support. They’re off-limits
while she’s undercover, and her mother isn’t speaking to her anyway,
having been confined to a mental hospital following a psychotic
breakdown. Adding insult to her isolation, Raleigh’s fiancĂ© wants them
to begin their life together—now—precisely when she’s been ordered not
to be herself.
With
just days left before the season ends, Raleigh races to stop the
killing and find out who’s behind the track’s trouble, all the while
trying to determine if Jack is friend or foe, and whether marrying her
fiancĂ© will make things better—or worse.
Raleigh is walking through the darkest night she’s faced, searching for a place where the stars shine bright.
Meet Sibella Giorello:
Sibella
Giorello grew up in the mountains of Alaska admiring the beauty and
nature that surrounded her. She majored in geology at Mount Holyoke
College in Massachusetts hoping to learn more about the landscape she
loved back home. From there Sibella followed a winding path, much like
the motorcycle ride she took across the country, which led to her true
love, journalism.
She
found herself in Seattle writing for rock-n-roll magazine and earned a
journalism degree from the University of Washington before heading south
to the land of great stories.
In Virginia, Sibella became a features writer for the Richmond
Times-Dispatch. It was there she also met her husband and would hear
Jesus whispering her name at a tent revival.
Sibella
started writing about Raleigh Harmon as a way to keep her love of
story-telling alive while staying at home with her young sons. As a
journalist and author, her stories have won state and national awards,
including two nominations for the Pulitzer Prize. The Stones Cry Out,
the first Raleigh Harmon novel, won a Christy award for debut novel in
2008. Sibella now lives in Washington state with her husband and sons.

My Thoughts:
I had to start the book over to really understand all the acronyms, which was funny for me because I am a navy brat and former navy wife and acronyms are just apart of life with us. After doing that I was pulled into the book and couldn't put it down. I am a huge horse fan so the racetrack and thoroughbred angle kept me turning the pages.
I don't want to say too much because I'll give the story away. If you enjoy a story with mystery and a touch of romance then this is for you. Highly recommended!
