Ashley Miller finally gathered the courage to leave behind her horse farm in Montana to escape her violent, controlling husband, and took a Greyhound bus to paradise: Montecito, California, home of West Coast old money, movie stars, and other celebrities, and even some English royals. But Ashley, though she is an experienced horsewoman who proves to be an asset in her new job at the polo club, is a naive country girl when it comes to other things. She's definitely not equipped for the kind of games people play in this wealthy upper class enclave, and she finds herself very much a fish out of water. Soon, Ashley meets Prince Charming at the Montecito polo club. But since he's a hot to trot Argentine polo champion who is by all accounts a player-in both senses of the word-and Ashley has just escaped a toxic relationship, could she be blamed for deciding to play it safe with another guy, one who seems like a real gentleman? Too bad the gentleman is an actual prince. Too bad he's married. Too bad Ashley doesn't realize that-until it's too late. This fun, romantic romp of a book has been hailed as a highly entertaining story. If you love royals behaving badly, love triangles, billionaires and millionaires galore, romantic suspense, slow burn romances, high society high jinks, equestrian details, hot contemporary romance told from a strong woman's point of view, and immersing yourself in elegant settings, Stick and Ball is the steamy, feel-good romance novel you will listen to in a single sitting.
