Pride

It took a hurricane for her to admit it, but Jules Thornton is finally in love. After losing her farm and nearly her life last year, Jules is back on her feet, living with her sweet, handsome boyfriend, Pete Morrison, at his idyllic Briar Hill Farm. True, she is more dependent on Pete than she might have liked, but he is constantly reassuring her that they are a team, that she will always have a home at Briar Hill. And when Pete is offered a dream sponsorship and a trip to England to hone his cross-country skills, he promises that Jules will be getting her own offer. That offer turns out to be a much less glamorous position in Florida vacationland, slogging through dressage lessons and doing barn chores for a no-nonsense trainer. Jules immediately chafes at the idea, but Pete is counting on her to help him keep Briar Hill afloat, they are a team, after all, so she swallows her pride and agrees.

Through everything life has thrown at her, Jules has been confident in one thing: she knows horses, and she has a special, once-in-a-lifetime connection with her horse, Dynamo. But her trainer, Grace, doesn't seem to see Jules's talent, and she calls into question even her bond with Dynamo. With Pete on another continent and Dynamo struggling in the arena, Jules doesn't know who she is anymore, as a girlfriend, or a horsewoman. Jules promised Pete she would stick out the summer in Orlando. Is their new relationship worth relearning everything Jules thought she knew about horses and about life?

In this 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.
