Courage

In Natalie Keller Reinert’s utterly immersive and propulsive eight-book Eventing Series, we follow Jules and her friends through the joys and losses of competitive eventing as they climb to the top of their sport—and into one another’s lives and hearts.

Jules Thornton isn’t afraid of anything—except, maybe, riding racehorses. So she never imagined she would find herself at a racetrack at dawn. But her new home, Briar Hill Farm, is in trouble, and she and her boyfriend, Pete Morrison, are willing to do just about anything to save it. The one silver lining to Jules’s unexpected side job is Alex, her new boss. Easygoing and cheerful, Alex couldn’t be more different from Jules. But they share a passion for their horses and a fierce drive to succeed, and for the first time in her life, Jules has a true friend. She needs Alex right now, because Pete has been more distant than ever. Is he hiding something? And why is he spending so much time with a new friend down the street?

As Pete continues to flounder, Jules takes the reins. But is the right path for her the right path for Pete, too? And can she convince him that he will be okay without Briar Hill, if the legal case threatening their home doesn’t go their way? To move forward, Pete and Jules must learn that real courage means hanging on for dear life and knowing when to let go.
