"CHARMING." —Publishers Weekly
“BREATHTAKING...Get ready to fly!” —Elizabeth Letts #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author
From the author of the popular Eventing Series, a brand-new and MUCH ANTICIPATED STANDALONE hardcover, set in Florida horse country and featuring a fresh set of UNFORGETTABLE characters
Brooke Haskell’s got big dreams . . . and she’s running out of time. The equestrian life Brooke craves has always been just outside her reach, but, like every horse girl, she believes that pluck, heart, and hard work can catapult anyone into greatness. Unfortunately, her horse Roxie doesn’t seem to agree. After her most disappointing horse show to date and with only one more year before graduation and real life take over, Brooke is finally upset enough to do something rash. She decides to ditch her college plans and her parents’ wishes, risking everything to apprentice with one of the country’s most famous equestrians, Eddie O’Neill.
As she plunges headfirst into the breakneck pace of a top training stable, Brooke finally feels like she belongs. Her fellow working student might be a trust-fund Instagram star, but they bond over their shared love of horses. And sparks fly with a colleague who seems to love this version of Brooke. But when Roxie goes from steady improvement to angry rebellion, Brooke realizes Eddie’s reputation for training winners may come at a steep price. Brooke is finally poised to have the life she always wanted—but at what cost? Will she discover an uncomfortable truth about her idol, and what is she willing to give up in order to defend the sport she loves?
Against the riveting high-stakes backdrop of the equestrian world, Reinert explores the passions that drive us, the love affairs that fuel us, and the partnerships—both animal and human—that help us thrive and find ourselves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reinert's charming latest (after Flight, the conclusion to the Eventing Series) concerns 21-year-old Brooke Haskell, whose great love is her mare, Roxie, a former racehorse she purchased with dreams of showcasing her talent at equestrian triathlons. While contending with Roxie's stubborn nature and a lack of funds, Brooke serendipitously meets popular influencer Lenox Alvarez, who encourages her to apply to be a working student at the prestigious River Grove Farm in Virginia, run by superstar trainer Eddie O'Neill. Eddie takes on Brooke, who spends the summer learning the business with manager Anise Kincaid and working alongside Lenox, who turns out to be down-to-earth and nurturing despite her moneyed background. Still, Lenox has a competitive side, which emerges when the girls learn they're both up for the same job at the end of their apprenticeship. As the farm prepares for big events in Florida, Brooke grows wary of Eddie's rough behavior toward the horses and his alcoholic benders. Matters come to a head when Anise and Eddie try to convince Brooke to sell Roxie to them, and Brooke has to come to terms with the nature of the business and her future. Reinert elucidates the world of equestrian eventing with her deeply informed story. This will please the author's fans and win her new ones.
