“Suzie Hindmarsh-Knights - Second Chance - 5 STAR REVIEW
Very well-done. I enjoyed the story !
Racing fast cars, strong character presentation, added to murder and intrigue. Wonderful twists and turns to make this a real page-turner. You are going to love it! – B.A T”

“I've read all three of Suzie's "Racing" series and have just finished "Second Chance" which had me hooked for 5 hours last night from 7.30 pm till 12.30 am - I couldn't put it down! Suzie has really mastered the art of writing page-turning novels. I love that (so far) they are all set in South Australia and that I can relate to the places she describes. There's a much wider cast of characters in Second Chance and I really enjoyed all their different personalities and stories. The plot was full of as many twists and turns as the roads the sports cars took. A great read and looking forward to the next one. – J M”

“Hi Suzie, I have finished reading Racing Dream, Racing Time & Racing Fate in around 10days!!!! My husband purchased them as a Christmas gift for me , I absolutely loved them !!!! So now I am about to read Second Chance Thanks again for such a great read. – M G”

“I really enjoyed the trilogy that Suzie has written. Good, strong romance. The plot starts at the Melbourne Cup and then "gallops" forward irresistibly to the Australian Outback.
And the book covers look stunning on my bedside table – K S”

Yep best books I have read in a long time. - L.J A”

Second Chance
Cindy Williams is starting a new life. She has a new sports car, joins a car club and is making some quirky, fun friends. The members of the club argue a bit but learning to be among people is exactly what she needs right now. She’s determined to recover from a lifetime of isolation and her father’s abuse. She’s going on the next club holiday, despite the club politics and petty arguments—she’s going to have fun.

Ex-police officer, Aidan Barkley, is still trying to recover from the death of his wife in a bungled police raid. Although exonerated, he blames himself. His brother talks him into driving his sports car on one of his car club holidays. Aidan knows he needs the break and he agrees to go—but doesn’t expect to have fun.

When Aidan and Cindy meet, sparks fly, but the arguments between club members are more than small squabbles, and Aidan’s wife wasn’t the only casualty in the police raid.

With a mysterious weave of hidden connections and a man bent on revenge, lives and new loves are on the line.

Racing Dream - book 1 in the 3 part Racing series

Annabel Martin dreams of winning a Melbourne Cup—the highest honour for any jockey in Australia. When a top trainer offers her a ride on the stallion, Reckless Night, Annabel hesitates only because her friend, James McKenzie is the usual jockey. But not only is James’s leg broken, but the trainer offers her a sweetener: if she wins the race, she can ride the horse through the Spring Campaign and on to the Melbourne Cup. Chasing her dreams earns Annabel an enemy in Damon Black—the man second to James, and the jockey who should have been in line to ride Reckless Night.

As Annabel begins her new job, a shady trainer drags Annabel’s father into the middle of a horse swapping scam. Because of her connection to both horses, Annabel is implicated—just as Damon Black begins to become dangerous, and just as she and James become more than friends. A fire at the stables sends James to the hospital, where Annabel’s possible involvement in the scheme is laid out in front of him. Not only was his dream of the Melbourne Cup snatched from him, but the woman he loves may not be who she says she is.

As Annabel’s world implodes, she faces her father’s shady connections, a possible riding ban, and losing the man she loves. But Annabel’s a woman who has survived as a top jockey in a man’s world, and she has no intention of letting her dreams be lost—no matter how high the odds are against her.

Set in the South Australian Outback, Adelaide Hills and Victoria.

Ellen Williams needs to disappear. Her bright career as an international jockey is washed away as she’s implicated in a horse doping scam—one of the worst crimes in the racing world. Humiliated, alone, and on the run, she answers a job advertisement in a place that’s far from her working life. The job, however, is everything that Ellen isn’t—cook and housekeeper on one of the largest Cattle Stations in Australia.

Alexander McKenzie is a desperate man. His top hand will quit if he doesn’t find a suitable housekeeper and cook. However, Alexander knows he’s made a mistake hiring Ellen—she’s going to be like the last four young women he fired—suffering through the trials of the Outback to hunt a wealthy husband and the last thing Alexander needs is a wife.

Ellen knows from experience that men are nothing but liars, and trouble—they destroy careers—and hearts. She’ll not let the likes of Alexander McKenzie beat her, after all how hard can managing a house and kitchen be?

Amid the lies and secrets that come with cattle rustlers and racehorses, Ellen must find her place in a new world. But when Ellen’s past catches up with her, Alexander’s intervention will either bring their lives together or explode them apart!

A strong-willed woman, a stubborn Scotsman, and a man hell-bent on destroying a family.

After her father’s unexplained death and her family becoming unsuspecting targets, Penelope Martin is left with more questions than answers.

Her plan to sell the family home couldn’t have come at a better time. In a desperate move to leave town, she accepts a teaching job and moves to the safety of her sister’s Cattle Station in the Australian Outback.

To start her new job, she is forced to stay with notorious ladies’ man Lachlan McDonald. They were an item years ago until Penelope learned he was nothing but a depraved, self-opinionated, womanizer. Pitting her wits against Lachlan, the incidents back home and with her deceased father, are forgotten.

Lachlan isn’t happy about sharing his house with Penelope. She has a chip on her shoulder bigger than Ayres Rock. He might not be able to control strong-willed Penelope, but while she resides under his roof, she will abide by his rules.

Just as Penelope finds something like happiness, an old enemy appears, threatening everything the Martin family holds dear. What does he have planned? And will the family be ready? Penelope and Lachlan must set aside their grievances if they are to save the lives of those they love.
