Starting over is never easy, but for Devon Markson, taking the barn manager job at Second Joy Farms in northern Arkansas made perfect sense. The owner, Joy, didn't just work with rescued horses, she also seemed to rescue people, too, and Devon knew he needed a soft landing after what he'd experienced at his previous barn. He knew he could do the work, and Joy didn't care that he was transgender. And although he quickly begins to shine, Devon comes to realize, the hardest part of starting over isn't adapting to the changes. It's letting go of all those things that need to be left behind.
Fresh Horses is the start of an adult equestrian series featuring trans joy, rescued horses with heart, and found family.

Excerpt:
With all the changes happening at Cardinal Oaks, Zahra's not sure of her place. She and Rose have had some rocky moments in their relationship. A planned trip to pick up more rescued thoroughbreds doesn't quite bring them together, but Rose does come home with Diamond, a gelding in need of some stall rest and TLC. Something about working with the gelding changes Rose, but is it a permanent change, or will it go away once the gelding is healed?
Zahra's receiving more responsibilities from Catarina and more clients. Her business is getting ready to take off. But will her relationship with Rose have a winning finish or will they end up where they'd started as two business partners who own a horse farm together and nothing more?
Excerpt:
Zahra's on top of the world, but her partner's fall at an event has sent her into a tail spin. She thought she had it all. A farm she worked on with the woman she was starting to love, great horses to ride, all the success she could ever want in competition. Suddenly all of that is in danger--or is it?
In this forth installment of the Cardinal Oaks series, Zahra has to face her inner demons, and force her partner to see her own. She needs to be really real with herself, and with Rose, because if she isn't, she really will lose it all.
This story contains mature women learning to love again, great horses, fantastic rides, and some honest truths about life and love.
