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?

**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 :)

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...

She also rides broncos better than most of the boys, though she'd never say it aloud. With her best friend and trick riding partner, Rose Odell, she goes around following the rodeo circuit, trick riding and Bronc riding. The two girls also barrel race on their other horses and do ranch work for Evelyn's dad. Is Evelyn following her true dream or is she searching for the perfect cowboy? Will this party animal ever settle down and take life seriously? Lucca Stevens, local rodeo cowboy, is known as a player. He has never had a girlfriend and has never kissed anyone. He does it all when it comes to rodeo. He rides the bull and the broncs, he does bulldoggin, and he ropes. His roping partner/best friend, Hunter Dawes, is the real player. But he does know how to treat a lady right. These two are following their current dream and looking for a true cowgirl to settle down with. Not one of those buckle bunnies. Can they rope in the heart of some true cowgirls? Will their dreams change?
