Glamour, adventure, suspense, romance and thrills. Traveling through Europe, the United States Olympic Show Jumping Team prepares for the XXVII Olympic Games. Clayton Whitfield III, sinfully handsome, obscenely wealthy, is the star of the team, a man who attracts women with a single seductive smile. Ellie Fletcher, the youngest, most inexperienced member of the team, has a hidden yearning for Clay, exactly the wrong man for her and exactly the woman Clay is obsessed with seducing. But danger lurks at every turn. When head coach Jake Branson's secret past as a Soviet defector catches up with him, the entire Olympic team becomes a target. Jake must choose between protecting the team--or the family he left behind the iron curtain.

From their headquarters in Gladstone, New Jersey, to the sophistication of London and the glamor of Paris, the riders struggle to survive their lethal journey, and win their quest for Olympic gold.
