Two people, one dream... with the past riding hard on their heels. Will they find what they are looking for, before time runs out?

Can she save her family's horse stud and reputation?

When India Kilhampton becomes caught up in the heart-stopping excitement of a major horse race, her mind is made up. She will breed a horse to win the coveted trophy and reunite her fractured family. Determined to make her dream a reality, she advertises for a horse breeder.

Jim Mawgan arrives at Helligen Stud in the Hunter Valley to take up the position. Jim, however, has a mission: he must fulfil his father's dying wish to right past wrongs and prove his ownership of the prized stallion Jefferson.

Jim and India discover they share a common goal, but as the secrets of the past unravel, old enmities surface and loyalties are tested. It is down to India to save Jim from a dark fate... but will an old betrayal stay her hand?

The Horse Thief by Tea Cooper is a story of ambition, legacy, and redemption, set against the thrilling backdrop of the equine world.
