He caught her horse. She blamed him for making it run. When Elijah Graham startles Virginia Troyer’s horse and sends it bolting down the road, the sparks fly instantly. Virginia makes it very clear she doesn’t need the cocky horseman’s help — especially not with the one animal that means everything to her. The horse was her late grandfather’s final gift, and it has been running away ever since he passed. Now the community has decided Elijah is the only one who can gentle the unpredictable animal. Forced to work together daily, their sharp banter and clashing methods hide a growing attraction neither wants to admit. But when a dangerous storm sends the horse fleeing into peril, Elijah and Virginia must ride through the night together. In the aftermath, long-buried pain surfaces and walls begin to crumble. Can a stubborn horse — and two even more stubborn hearts — finally find peace? A warm, emotionally satisfying Amish romance with humor, heart, and hope, perfect for readers who love animal stories, wounded hearts, and love that grows where it’s least expected.
