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?

Equitation of the Heart | MxM
After a string of questionable (and probably stupid) decisions, Jax Cross finds himself getting assigned to clean-up duty in the barn of the show jumping horses. Why? Well, because he in his petty nature decided to prank the show jumping riders, also know as the "elite" of their boarding school. In contrast to their selfish and privileged ways of living, Jax is seen as a playful, curious, and carefree cross-country rider who's fighting to compete well in eventing tournaments.

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.

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...Complete
