A current boyfriend and a former boyfriend, two jumping horses to show, a missing racehorse, a newborn filly with a questionable pedigree, a human body dredged up from the bottom of Flathead Lake--just a normal summer for Heather Chambers in Challenge of Choice, the final book (following Quality Concealed and Image of Deception) in the "Heather" trilogy. Leaving David Cane behind in Utah, Heather travels to Montana to promote her Thoroughbred jumper, Royal Image, or so she thinks. Although her stepfather, Kevin, claims he "never interferes," he decides Heather should see Tyler Taggert again before telling David she will marry him. Okay. She can go along with that. No problem. No problem, that is until David shows up at the Taggert horse farm on the shores of Flathead Lake, hauling Possum, Heather's backup mount. "Now you have both boyfriends together. You can compare," Kevin tells a distraught Heather. If all this isn't enough to complicate the 18-year-old girl's life, add Ty's gorgeous riding student, Allie; and Katie, his matchmaking sister, in memorable performances both off and on the Bigfork Summer Theater stage. And,oh yes--is there really a Flathead monster?
