Crosscountry Stories

-REWRITE- Sofia Myers has spent her entire life chasing one dream: earning a place at High Meadow University, the nation's most prestigious collegiate equestrian program. Leaving behind her hometown of Boulder, Colorado and everything she's ever known. It isn't easy, but she's determined to prove she belongs among the country's best riders. Nothing will distract her from making the elite eventing team...not the pressure of college, the fierce competition, or the two riders who couldn't be more different. Brandon Miller is confident, charming, and impossible to ignore. While Liam Homfeld knows what it's like to live under impossible expectations and somehow always knows exactly what to say. But High Meadow is built on more than talent and tradition. As rivalries grow, feelings become complicated, and Sofia's carefully guarded past begins to surface, she'll have to decide who she can trust and how much she's willing to risk to protect the future she's worked so hard to build.
