Before you watch Rivals—Season 2 now streaming on Hulu/Disney+—read the prequel now!
The first book in the steamy, scandalous Rutshire Chronicles series—an intoxicating blend of swooning romance, adventure, and hilarious high jinks set within the elite world of equestrian show jumping.
Welcome to the cutthroat world of international show jumping, a dazzling sport where fearless athletes, wealthy sponsors, and beautiful starlets collide. Against the glorious backdrop of the Cotswold countryside and the glamorous playgrounds of Europe, a bitter rivalry between two of the sport’s most brilliant stars is about to reach its breaking point. Jake Lovell is a brooding, prodigiously talented horseman, under whose magic hands even the most difficult horse is charmed. Haunted by a troubled past, he is driven by an all-consuming loathing for one man: Rupert Campbell-Black.
Dashing, impossibly handsome, and fabulously wealthy, Rupert is the darling of the show ring who takes what he wants, when he wants it. For years, the feud between the two men has simmered. They’ve pinched each other’s horses, competed for the same women, and drunk their way around the capitals of the world, leaving behind them a trail of broken hearts and bitter memories. Now, their rivalry is set to explode on the world’s biggest stage: the Los Angeles Olympics. As the competition intensifies, their personal war escalates with devastating and far-reaching consequences.
A timeless and beloved bestseller that has captivated generations of readers, Riders pulls back the curtain on a world where the brave horses are almost human, but the humans behave like animals. It’s a deliciously scandalous, utterly addictive story of love, ambition, and revenge that will leave you breathless.
