Friday's Folly — Hilary Walker

Falling in love will destroy his dream of leaving the island. But can he stop himself? Max is desperate to get off Sinclair Island and away from a dead-end job working for his widowed father. Then he and his horse literally run into the feisty and attractive Camille. Trouble is, she's just begun a career on the very island he longs to escape from.  He'll have to fight his feelings for the pretty vet tech if he has any hope of starting life on the mainland. Camille brings Friday's Folly, her newly-rescued racehorse, to Sinclair Stables. She discovers that Max has valuable experience training Off Track Thoroughbreds, which she lacks, but she's having a hard time getting him to thaw. His irreverence towards God also troubles her. When his horse goes missing, Camille is able to help, and uses the opportunity to engage him in lively discussions.  Max struggles hard to refute her arguments for God – and keep his emotional distance. But when her prayers on his behalf are answered, he's forced to rethink his position about God. And about Camille.
