"The horse does all the work."Fighting words for professional horseman Simon O' Shaughnessy! When a personal trainer insults Simon's beloved sport of eventing, Simon can't resist challenging the fitness guru to a running race--on his own two feet. But is Simon as fit and full of running out of the saddle as he is mounted on horseback?

Ainsley Ashcroft can ride any horse and win blue ribbons at every horse show. But she has never held on to a steady riding job-or a steady boyfriend. There is a brokenness inside of her that only horses can fix, and, even then, for only a short while. Ainsley is convinced she was "born broke," but not broken like a horse-rather, that something is wrong with her spiritually (and financially). She's burned every bridge on the A-circuit. Will a new job leading trail rides in Vermont and a new horse named Hershey turn her life around?

"Horses get used as medicine for messed up people. But I want to fix horses, not people. More often than not, messed up people get in the way of good horses." Simon O' Shaughnessy, professional eventer, prides himself on being able to train difficult horses. When he buys a nervous mare on impulse, he is confident he can win her trust. He's not so confident, however, about his ability to help a self-proclaimed rescuer of animals, who seems just as much in need of rescuing herself.
