Sudden Death (The Windward Cup Dynasty Book 3)

Julian Rosemont spent thirty years being a disappointment to a name. This is the season he finds out the name was never his.The new club is forty acres of sumac, a barn with half a roof, and four people who signed their names on an envelope taped to a refrigerator door. It's the first thing Julian has ever built that nobody handed him — and the first time in his life he's had to work out what he actually wants, instead of what the family required.Mason is beside him for all of it. Arguing over a fence line. Mud to the knee. Staying.Then a rider goes down at the Windward Cup, and the verdict comes back an accident.Nobody who was there believes it. The detective working the case doesn't believe it either. And the further Julian pulls at the thread, the closer it gets to the house he grew up in, the father whose approval organised his entire life, and a question about who he is that he never thought to ask.The answer costs him the only thing he was ever sure of.Sudden Death is the third book in the Windward Cup Dynasty — a slow-burn M/M polo romance about inherited money, chosen family, and what men build when they finally stop performing. Full of horses, grief, blistered hands, and the particular tenderness of being loved by someone who does not go anywhere.Contains: a murder investigation running under everything, an ensemble of couples finding their footing, one very good barn, and a man learning to ask for what he wants out loud.Heat: Explicit and open-door throughout, across several couples. 18+.No cliffhanger — but the Dynasty isn't finished. The story continues in Book Four.
