Against the Clock, the gripping sequel to Clear to the Last, delves deeper into Livy and Simon's journey as they navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship, love, and personal growth.
With dreams of building a natural horsemanship training business, Livy and Simon embark on a race against time, fuelled by a determination to make their venture profitable by Christmas. As they struggle to find clients, establish a reputation for themselves, and manage the demands of both the horses and their owners, Livy and Simon’s partnership is tested by financial strain and family tensions.
Amidst the turmoil, however, Livy forms a special bond with Rico, the troubled showjumper who not only helps rekindle her passion for jumping but allows her to showcase their work by demonstrating the profound connection between horse and rider.
But when disaster strikes, Livy and Simon are forced to make a difficult decision about their future. Will their partnership last, both personally and professionally, or will Livy be forced to go back to her soul-destroying office job and give up on her equestrian dreams? Worse still, will she lose both the man and the horse she loves?
