In the blink of an eye your whole life can change. It happened to Tess, and the world when she opened her eyes again was a foreign place. After the accident, there was no Twister, her dressage partner and best friend, and Tess couldn't bear the thought of continuing with her dream career of becoming an equine vet. With legs held together by artificial joints and metal pins, her active and outgoing life is over as she knows it. But then a few years later, an old university classmate, Ollie, appears on her doorstep with an unusual request involving three rescued horses. Tess had sworn she could never have another horse again after losing Twister, but with nowhere else for these troubled horses to go she is unable to turn them away. And so begins the start of a long, exciting new journey with a horse named Diva, and a collection of rescue horses who seek refuge in Tess's home and heart. Similar to Twister in more ways than Tess can bring herself to admit, Diva is a naturally gifted horse, but like Tess she harbours her own demons and has a haunted past. But with a little bit of love and nurturing - in more than one case - can both Tess and Diva overcome these troubles claim a title in the Winter Dressage Championships? Cover made by spiritee.

Shay just got her dream job, working for her mentor and idol on a professional showjumping yard in Germany. It also happens to be the perfect escape from the hellish aftermath of her break up with James Harrington. She has been the focus of gossip for six months, ever since she walked out and broke the golden boy's heart. She's just escaped from an over controlling manipulative man, and as far as she's concerned, all men can stay far, far away. Feelings are for fools and love is a mug's game. Penn is trying to juggle a family business that has fallen on his shoulders, an overbearing aggressive father, the pressure of being one of the hottest young showjumpers on the circuit and stay sane. He's used to the pressure of competing, but the horse business has a way of throwing curve balls that you could never prepare for. Family history is hard to forget and although blood might be thicker than water, it's hard to draw blood from a stone. Thrown together by chance, with raging ex-boyfriends, overprotective friends and enough drama to fill a soap opera, will these two choose each other or their careers? All's fair in love and war, but sometimes the person you love is the one waging a war. ** Disclaimer** This will have references to drugs, adult content, and is rated R.

I was never capable of creating relationships with people. I could never connect with anyone or anything but animals, horses in particular. My horse became my home, the only thing that gave me the feeling of being intertwined with reality. The day I lost my horse to a violent and sudden colic was the day my world completely fell apart. The longer he was gone the more isolated I became. I more than desperately needed something to change my life.
