Rio Star

Patty O'Donnell, pregnant wife of an Irish jockey and a trainer in her own right, finds both her career and her baby's life in jeopardy when she's abducted and forced by a pair of con men to help in a racing scam in Argentina. Patty wants nothing to do with it - until she understands the reason for it, and the quest becomes her own.

At stake is a million-dollar bet and long-delayed revenge. The con men's target is a dangerous man who has killed in the past and wouldn't hesitate to kill again, a man from whom no one is safe, either in the crowded city of Buenos Aires or on the vast sweep of the Argentine pampas. Can a clever horsewoman use her racing skills to stay alive?
