Bored with his life on the merry-go-round, a little wooden horse decides to run away.

An uneasy sense of impending calamity falls. An underhanded war crushes. As troubles beset the Flying Horse Ranch, lady veterinarian, Kat Lamar, teams up with newly hired ranch foreman, Cade Crocker, thwarting attempts aimed at forcing a land sale and stealing a runaway stallion. Cade, in dusty boots and cowboy hat, arrives under a cloud of suspicion, haunted by a past failure as he defends the Flying Horse under the mistrustful but tempting green eyes of the lady vet. Someone with inside knowledge is putting the Flying Horse Ranch out of business and setting off a series of sabotage mishaps. A stable fire puts Cade on the trail of the arsonist and horse thief. He finds little evidence, no answers, and plenty of suspects but no proof. Bad luck, sleuthing, and misfortunes abound for Kat, and riding into trouble, she comes across the terrifying reality of a wicked, inveigling hand grasping for what is rightfully hers. Her adversary is waiting and explodes in anger when crossed, terrifying Kat with his horrifying, crazy laughter. Cade, by her side, goes after the man who once outwitted him. Can he find his faith and reclaim the courage to fight a battle he once lost?
