Overview

Series: Timber Ridge Riders--Book Seven

Kate McGregor and her best friend, Holly Chapman, have swapped horses until Kate qualifies for the big show in April. But just as Kate is getting to really know Holly's gelding, Magician, a flashy new horse shows up at the barn. He captures the heart of everyone except his owner and sends Kate's plans tumbling into free fall. So does Brad Piretti, the local snowboarding star. He invites Kate to go skiing, and Kate takes yet another unexpected tumble.

Meanwhile Holly has set her sights on getting her mom and Kate's dad together, as in Holly's favorite movie, The Parent Trap. But the unwelcome involvement of their high school principal turns those plans upside down as well.

In the middle of all this, Kate's biggest rival, Angela Dean, returns from winter vacation. Angela is coping with demons of her own and ends up turning the tables on Kate in a way that nobody expects.

About the Author

Maggie Dana's first riding lesson, at the age of five, was less than wonderful. In fact, she hated it so much, she didn't try again for another three years. But all it took was the right instructor and the right horse and she was hooked for life.

Her new riding stable was slap bang in the middle of Pinewood Studios, home of England's movie industry. So while learning to groom horses, clean tack, and muck stalls, Maggie also got to see the stars in action. Some even spoke to her.

Born and raised near London, Maggie now makes her home on the Connecticut shoreline where she divides her time between hanging out with the family's horses and writing her next book in the Timber Ridge Riders series.
