On April 22, 1820 in Richmond, England, Melissa Howard has disguised herself and sits upon her gelding at a racetrack, impatiently waiting for the bell to ring.

He has the innate ability to choose talented riders. So when an unknown rider almost beats his horse in a race, he makes a point to meet the rider.

Ordinarily he'd be more than willing to help her, but their association could lead to a somewhat controversial scandal.What is the random chance that these two meet when the attraction between them is immediate?
