― Laurell K. Hamilton, Mistral's Kiss
***
Georgia Cusset is the equine eventing world's next star, as a young and talented twenty-one year old, Georgia has a lot of pressure that she strives to overcome. her life and love is the freedom of overcoming obstacles, or challenging fences, but what if this obstacle is too big even for her to jump?
Skip through a coma and fast forward a month to when everything comes tumbling down- her perfect reputation, her perfect plan- her complete life all gone in a matter of seconds.
Her mind has evaded her and her sanity struggles even more under the power of the unbearable frustrating 'Doctor J' who seems to be somewhat bipolar, or else a complete jerk.
She's torn from her beloved horse, separated from her only passion and paralysed from the waist down.
Her injuries can heal on the outside, all broken bones will mend- but the mind, that's a different matter.
Not mature but some cursing. Deals with depression.
Not just a story for 'horsey people', suitable for all audiences.

Blue
Blue is living example of how brutal the foster system is. The only way she knows how to protect herself is by pushing everyone away, to detach herself from those around her. Trust isn't something she knows how to do. Self-sabotage on the other hand-it's her best talent. After another failed attempt at finding a family, Blue decides to run. She'd rather take her chances alone on the streets than go through another gruelling process of trying to fit in with a new family who would never understand her. Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them. This is a tale of how two lost souls find hope in the most unexpected way, and their fight to protect it.Complete

Saddles & Starlight
Maren Grace Walker thought her life had already been rewritten. At seventeen, a bone cancer diagnosis stole her rodeo dreams and left her clinging to what she could still hold: her family, her ranch, and the horses that carried her through the darkest days. Now in her early thirties, Maren's settled into the rhythm of ranch life alongside her dad. She doesn't expect much to change. Until Glen Powell, her brother's friend she grew up trailing after, comes back home to Texas. He remembers her as a kid with braids and big belt buckles. She's not that girl anymore. And Glen isn't just the boy who used to tease her, either. He's a movie star with the kind of smile that can undo a girl in a heartbeat, and the kind of man with baggage that Maren swore she'd never take on. What starts as stolen glances and banter under the wide Texas sky begins to stir something neither of them expected. But with Glen's world pulling him back to Hollywood and Maren's roots sunk deep in the ranch, the question lingers: Can saddles and starlight hold them together, or are they destined to ride in different directions?

You can't help but play the damsel in distress." His large hands enveloped mine, inspecting my injured finger with surprising gentleness. Victor's touch ignited both irritation and an inexplicable warmth within me as he rubbed the sore spot with a tenderness that caught me off guard. "You just can't help it."

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
