Ninety-Nine White Horses - Wadsworth, J. B.

. .

Résumé :
Why settle for fate when you can create your own destiny? Molly Baird is a wealthy debutante in 1887 New York City, searching for love in a society riddled with hypocrisy and contradiction. After a series of social faux pas, her mother laments that Molly may be too awkward and lackluster to find a suitable husband. In desperation, Molly relies on an old wives' tale, which states that if she counts ninety-nine white horses, the next unmarried man to tip his hat to her will be the love of her life. But when fate delivers on the promise of the ninety-nine white horses and a young man tips his hat, she loses him in the crowds of a New York City street and supposes he is gone forever. However, her father's financial ruin takes her to live on a Vermont horse farm where she finds that fate has not deserted her, after all-only the man it has delivered is not the one she wants. Now, she must decide whether to accept fate's cruelly-dealt hand or to toss her cards to the wind and set out to forge her own destiny. Ninety-Nine White Horses is an eastern Western-without the guns....
