CLAIRE REYNOLDS HATED GALAS. They were pretentious affairs,
with everyone pretending to enjoy themselves with plastered-on smiles and
expensive jewelry. The wait staff looked like awkward penguins rushing
around with their trays of cheap champagne and hors d’oeuvres that would
barely feed a mouse. And the conversations…she stopped listening to the
political commentary twenty minutes earlier. She was bored and tired and
had spent the day doing her job: training and evaluating a new set of trotters
for the upcoming harness racing season. She still had work to do before she
could make a recommendation, and being at the gala was cutting into her
schedule.
Not that she really had any choice in the matter. Not with her current
employer planning on handing over the proverbial reins of his horse racing
empire to his son. His son didn’t want to keep her on and wanted to bring in
his own horse trainer, effectively leaving Claire without a job. She agreed to
come to the Gelding Ball, hoping to find someone who wanted to take her
on. The worst-case scenario was that she’d return to the esteemed
Brookhaven Equestrian Center in Delaplane, but that meant dealing with
people who had no idea how to ride a horse. She sighed and pinched the
bridge of her nose.
Excusing herself, she set her glass of champagne on a passing
waiter’s tray. She lifted the skirt of her gown and climbed the stairs towards
the balcony. She needed a few minutes of peace and fresh air. The night was
cool for March, even for Virginia, but the full moon smiled down on the
lawn of The Inn at Old Silk Mill. She could hear the horses up for adoption
shuffling in the horse carriers, soft snorts and whinnies coming back to her
in the cool air. She smiled at the sound. She was passionate about horses.
Each horse held a special place in her heart, from the spirited thoroughbreds
to the gentle ponies. With boundless patience and unwavering dedication,
she nurtured them, guided them, and watched them flourish beneath her
care. Claire’s love for her craft shone through whether she was training a
young colt, fine-tuning the technique of an experienced trotter, or simply
sharing a quiet moment with her equine companions.
Turning away from the rolling vista before her, she looked into the
hall where the gala was being held. Her eyes landed on the enigma that was
Alexander Blackwood. He was the one person her employer mentioned as a
potential candidate for new employment. She’d heard of Blackwood.
Rumors of his wealth and influence had long circulated within the tight-knit
equestrian community of Delaplane. His name was whispered in hushed
tones, accompanied by tales of grand estates and magnificent steeds. Yet,
despite his prominence, Alexander remained a mystery—a shadowy figure
lurking on the fringes of Claire’s world.
