"The story you are about to read isn't a romance story, filled with hearts and love and perfection. This is a story of a girl, a girl who has a traumatic past, and may never be able to move on from it. That girl is me."

Meet Elody Jiles. Outwardly, she seems like a normal girl, with a normal life. However, that is not the case. Upon meeting her, you may assume she is just extremely introverted, and doesn't like being around people. But in reality, she is simply afraid of human touch. This is a result of her broken past. No one really understands what happened, or why she is the way she is. For now. 

Her family got sick of her hiding in her room, seemingly scared of living her life. So without her consent, she is sent off to a horse ranch in the middle of nowhere, where she is to work for the summer. She has no choice but to oblige, so as to avoid being thrown out. What will happen when she discovers she is to live and work closely alongside another person? And what will happen when she discovers that other person is a guy?

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

Welcome to Willow Tree Stables, home to the famous "horse whisperer" Mary Lane. At age 15, turning 16, Mary had worked with abused horses her whole life, with the help of her mother and her friends. They helped them get to trust in humans again and make the unrideable horses rideable. However, like most people, there are secrets that she kept from people and people kept from her. The biggest one is about her father being the famous, yet mythical, Santa Clause. Sure, she knew that he was her father. However, as time went on, Mary had forgotten about her father and just thought that her mother was the only one that had lived in her life. Another secret is how she became known as the "horse whisperer". She could speak to animals in her mind, but is she the only one or are there others like her, who can talk to animals with her mind? What happens when a boy comes into her life, and all she thinks about is how aggravating he is? Sure, he knows the secret about who Mary is, but she doesn't like him one bit, even though her best friend likes him from the start. Will she figure out who she is before it's too late? Or will she perish at the hand of something or someone that doesn't want her alive? _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
