The first book in Natalie Keller Reinert’s beloved Eventing Series, set in the high-stakes world of three-day eventing, now reimagined and repackaged!
Jules Thornton didn’t come to Florida horse country to make friends. She has only ever needed her beloved horse, Dynamo, and her ruthless ambition—and she is well on her way to becoming the champion rider and trainer she’s always dreamed of being. Sure, maybe her farm is on the shabby outskirts of fancy Ocala, and her working student seems to hate her, and the nights with only her beagle for company are starting to feel lonely. She doesn’t have time for things like friends and vacations and properly cooked meals. And she certainly doesn’t have time for Peter Morrison, the handsome heir to one of Ocala’s grandest horse farms who keeps beating her at events and, for some reason, asking her out to dinner.
But even Jules has to admit that she is hanging on by a thread, and when things at the farm—and, most troublingly, with her horses—start to go wrong, she begins to realize her ambition can only take her so far. Pete seems to see something beyond Jules’s spiky, stubborn exterior, and maybe there’s more to him, too, than just his golden-boy reputation. It’s hurricane season in Florida, and with storms on the horizon that even Jules couldn’t have predicted, she’ll need to learn to trust her community—and admit that being alone isn’t the same as being strong.
In Natalie Keller Reinert’s beloved eight-book Eventing Series, we follow Jules and her friends through the joys and heartbreaks of the competitive eventing circuit, as they work their way into elite echelons—and into one another’s lives and hearts. Utterly immersive and propulsive, this series is an unforgettable journey for anyone who has ever fallen in love with horses, or humans.
