Ride Beside Me | ᴋ. ᴅᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ
She doesn't chase love. She runs with it. Aspen Hayes never needed a man to steady her hand or soften her world. Raised on dust, hard lessons, and the back of a blue-roan mare, she built a life where grit beats luck and loyalty means everything. She isn't here to be admired. She isn't here to be chosen. She's here to win - and stay free doing it. But winning in this world means more than clean runs and fast turns. It means land. Legacy. Bloodlines and boundaries. And when a quiet-jawed cowboy with eyes full of trouble steps into her arena, Aspen feels the earth shift under her boots harder than any horse ever has. He rides like he's outrunning ghosts. He looks at her like he's finally found home. And he stands between her and the one thing she's sworn to protect - control. To love him, she'd have to ride beside him. Never behind. Never second. And Aspen Hayes has never followed anyone. Some cowgirls were born to lead. Some hearts were built to run. And some love stories ride in at a full gallop - daring you to hold on.

Hooves on the Heart: Book 1 Start of Steele
The Fagan family has always loved horses, and now they're making their lifelong dream a reality-starting a horse farm in Tennessee, specializing in race-bred Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Fagan and their five children: fifteen-year-old Khloe, fourteen-year-old Noel, eight-year-old Nathan, and five-year-old twins Allie and Ariah. Khloe is heartbroken about leaving her home and friends in Kentucky, but the excitement of owning a horse farm-especially the chance to have a horse of her own-makes the move easier. She has dreamed of this moment for as long as she can remember. But there's one problem: her family's budget is tight, and they can only afford to buy mares for their breeding and training program. While accompanying her dad to a horse auction, Khloe stumbles upon a stunning dapple-gray Quarter Horse mare-her dream horse. But this mare isn't just wild-she's been abused, broken, and has lost all trust in humans. Now, Khloe faces two challenges: convincing her dad to buy the mare and, if she succeeds, proving to the frightened horse that they are meant to be. But with a horse this damaged, the journey won't be easy. Can Khloe earn the mare's trust, or will someone get hurt in the process?Complete
Unite (Shadow Ridge Series #3)
The first half of Kaylin Podmore's sophomore year of high school was pretty intense for someone who usually tries to keep away from the drama. It seemed like almost every day she spent her day fighting with someone, whether it was between her parents and her older sister Kimberly, her now ex-best friend, Grace Barnes, when they would mainly fight about or with Carson Hall and of course, Nichole Young, her boyfriend, Lucas Micthell's, ex-girlfriend. Now, it's the last month of the school year and the summer meets for Thoroughbred horse racing are kicking off, mainly focused on the elusive Triple Crown series which Faith's Magic, Kaylin's favorite filly, has been campaigning heavily for since the fall meets. Kaylin and Lucas are also going to be celebrating their one-year anniversary, which brings a whole new set of boundaries for the two of them to navigate with not only each other, but even their friends. The two of them spend their summer with their friends and family mostly up north in New York for horse races and celebrating multiple birthdays. They also spend time strengthening their relationship in more ways than one and having uncomfortable, but necessary conversations with friends and family about the changes in their relationship. As the summer break comes to an end, the drama from last year comes back around, the group prepares to see what the next school year will bring, as it's their time to buckle down to start figuring out what they want now that they're officially high school juniors and seniors.Complete
