Ride a Red Pony — Anne Edgeworth

Charles Macleod had a plan when he became the guardian of his youngest granddaughter, Jariah. Denied a childhood, Macleod saw Jariah's potential as he guided her to be his heir and successor, while controlling and manipulating those around her. Under tragic circumstances, Jariah is thrust into the leadership of her grandfather's business empire and the custodianship of his personal vault containing detailed dossiers on each family member. Ride a Red Pony travels across international borders and oceans, embracing the breadth of Macleod's global empire to the idyllic pastures of Jariah's mountain farm, where she encounters challenges, threats and treachery. There are romantic affairs, relationship breakdowns and betrayals as Jariah takes control and embraces love and happiness on her own terms, while endeavouring to resolve Macleod's meddling.
