After the Vermont Summer Circuit, Hannah Waer said good-bye to her first love, grand prix rider Chris Kern, and headed off to college. But once she's there, she can't stop thinking about Chris competing in Florida all winter along with his ex girlfriend, Mary Beth. Hannah is determined to join them in Wellington for the Winter Circuit, but when she finally gets there, it's not everything she hoped it would be. Chris is busy and stressed, trying to rebuild his career. Meanwhile, the frustratingly charming and beautiful Mary Beth seems set on winning Chris back. Zoe Tramell is in over her head with some seriously bad people and might need Hannah's help-if Hannah is willing to forgive Zoe enough to help her. And then there's Dakota, the difficult, young junior rider Hannah is supposed to be taking care of who wears Louboutin shoes, barks orders at Hannah, and chases after older guys. The Winter Circuit is the pinnacle of the country's glamorous show jumping circuit-it's also where Hannah, Chris, and Zoe must face big questions of what's next for them in life and how far they're willing to go to get there.
