The Grump Whisperer

Keep calm and ride on…

For fans of Elsie Silver and Hannah Grace comes a charmingly engaging story about tumbling down, falling in love and getting back into the saddle when it counts…

Horse barn manager Bronwen Jones is just about at her wit's end. The barn is under new ownership, and things are going downhill fast. Now the situation is dire: bills are unpaid, they're low on feed and hay, and the mountain of manure is the stuff of nightmares.

Which is when he arrives. Former show jumper Ian Kingston is an absolutely gorgeous wreck of a man with a deep scowl. He had the career she always dreamed of -- until his most recent injury destroyed any hope of professional riding. Ian wants nothing to do with Bronwen, the responsibilities for horses or anything that reminds him of what he's lost.

Only, Bronwen isn't about to let their resident Mr. Rochester off easy. Not when there are horses that need tending. And when a glorious but skittish stallion arrives, Bronwen and Ian are forced to work together -- even as attraction crackles between them. Both must face the pile of crap that's keeping them from moving forward…and the outcome may be the greatest ride of their lives.
