At one point in time, Hailey Love was both a competitor and a trainer in the equestrian world.  She was a veteran in the all-around show circuit, which included both Western and English disciplines, but new to training and showing her own horses in those competitions.

After an unfortunate jumping accident at a high-level show jumping competition that resulted in the death of her beloved horse and partner and what could have been (and quite possibly escalate to be) a life-changing injury, she vowed to never show in that area of competition again.  For a little more than seven months, Hailey completely disappeared from the eyes of the equestrian world, as both a trainer and a competitor.  

Eventually, Hailey returned to her home town, and home barn, to try to start over and heal from what remains of the wounds she suffered, whether they be physical or not.  But what will occur when someone shocking appears before her, asking for her to train him for the upcoming show season?

A broken prodigy. 17 year old Olive Bennett wishes for nothing more than to wash away the dark memories that haunt her day and night. Moving to Wilson Creek was supposed to do that. But nothing brings the dread back more than her crippled leg, and the horse she hides from herself and everyone else. Helping her father earn desperately needed money, Ollie picks up a job at the local stables, a pristine english riding centre home to stuck up girls and beautiful horses that have never been loved. And it's getting hard to ignore her feelings when Gus, an arrogant, annoying yet gorgeous stablehand is thrown into the mix, his one mission - to break down Ollie's walls. Then, without even realising it, Ollie soon finds herself teaching Wilson Creek Stables her ways of horsemanship - the western art of creating bonds and being kind. Can they help her heal with her own broken horse? 'This book is legendary! It's truly compelling and brought me back time and time again.

Hailey Summers. I knew she was gonna be a problem for me the second my eyes fell on her in the school hall way that day.

I'm about to turn eighteen in a week, and coming from an Italian family, a mafia family, that's a big deal. It meant that i was finally old enough to take over the family business, over my father's kingdom. It came with great power and responsibilities, there was absolutely no room for weaknesses. Little did I know was that Hailey would be my down fall. I fell in love with her when I shouldn't have. She was so pure and innocent, a person like me would only destruct her. I was a monster. I couldn't drag her into this life, but I also couldn't let her go. I wish things could be different, I wish that I could be different, but this is my life, this is what I was born to do, and I will do anything for her.

Big Girl Boots by lindsle
40 parts Complete
**Book 3 in the Coda Paxton Series** My Aunt Callie always said I had to get back on the horse if I fell off. It didn't matter if I got bucked off, or if my cinch was too loose, or if I went to turn a barrel and slipped too far. I always had to get back on that horse before she would let me leave the arena. She'd tell me "Blake, you need to put on your big girl boots and get back in that saddle". So I did. That's how I grew up, riding with my dad or his sister every chance I got, and that's the way they taught me to live. If something scared me, they'd just tell me to put on my big girl boots, and that was enough challenge to get me to do it. Also, cowgirls don't cry. I'd never been much of a crier. Hell, I was known for being tougher than my cousin Kellan, and I was proud of that. I was proud because I was tough. Then, I met Coda. Coda was the girl with the whole world against her. Every time she started gaining confidence and feeling good about life, she'd get knocked back down. The thing about her was she didn't give up. Coda may have been a sweet, quiet soul, but she was tougher than any bull rider or bronc buster. She's the girl that showed me you can cry and still be tough. She's the girl that showed me what tough really is. Coda Paxton was the girl who made me want to put on my big girl boots and get things done, and not just because of the challenge. SEQUAL TO RIGHT BACK ON This story is from Blake's perspective so it can be read as a standalone, but things might make a little more sense if you read Into My Own and Right Back On first :)

Cheer, crutches and love In the high-stakes world of competitive cheerleading, I'm not just fighting for the top spot on my squad, I'm battling against my own body. As a third-year medical student with a scholarship riding on my athletic skills, I can't afford to let anything hold me back. But when a severe ankle injury threatens to sideline me for good, I'm forced to navigate the fine line between pushing through the pain and risking it all. As I struggle to keep my place on the squad, my life takes an unexpected turn when I start to develop feelings for our team's physical therapist. What began as professional concern has quickly turned into something much deeper, adding even more complexity to my already chaotic world. With each setback, my determination is tested, and the line between perseverance and self-destruction begins to blur. As the season goes on, the competition only gets fiercer, not just on the mat, but inside me as well. My ankle is barely holding up, and the pressure to perform is crushing. Every twist and turn brings me closer to the edge, forcing me to make impossible choices that could cost me everything I've worked for. But I refuse to back down, even as the pain becomes unbearable. Will I reclaim my place at the top, or will the price of victory be too high? In this journey of resilience, passion, and unexpected love, I'm about to find out just how far I'm willing to go to achieve my dreams. Love Dr. Hailey Robinson, MD

Evelyn Holloway's life seemed perfect. Being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon and a professional model meant that everything was handed to her on a gold plated platter, even if she didn't want it. With her pedigreed horses and world-class riding instructors, Eves life revolved around horses. However, Eve is constantly under the watch of her parents' critical eyes with expectations of nothing less than perfectionism. To top everything off, Eve had learned that people always try to use her for her status and money. Eve believes she'll never meet a decent person who could look past her wealth, someone she could maybe call a friend. ...Then she meets Ashleigh Ashleigh Sutton is Eves polar opposite. Rocked by her parents' crippling divorce, the only thing Ashleigh seems to have left in her life is her love of horses and a passion for riding. However, her parents' split has left her with barely enough money to afford anymore riding lessons, much less her dream...a horse of her own. Worse, Ashleigh has learned that the people she thought were her friends were really only being her friends out of pity. Ashleigh feels as if there is nobody in the world who can look past her less than desirable home situation and be a true friend. ...Then she get's a job at Eves stable. Working all summer in exchange for riding lessons and showing opportunities seemed like a dream come true for Ashleigh and having a group of people her age with the same love for horses seemed perfect for Eve. However, the group of aspiring equestrians is more competitive than either girl had thought, everyone fighting for the top spot. Time for a summer filled with horses, drama...and maybe friendship...
