A rescued horse. A washed-up trainer. A teen reaching for a dream.

Cory Iverson’s junior year is off to a lousy start. Publicly humiliated by the hottest guy in high school and terrorized by a bullying band director, she’s labeled a loser and a quitter. But when her dog leads her to the barn of a former Grand Prix show jumper, Cory’s faded riding dreams are reignited. Teaming up with the farm’s reclusive trainer and a mysterious rescued horse, Cory puts her loser past behind her. But for how long?  And does she dare hope to qualify for one of the country’s most prestigious horse shows? 

While Cory gains confidence in the saddle, the rest of her life is falling apart: strange pills appear in her mom’s purse, her ballerina sister wastes away before her eyes, and her boyfriend is keeping secrets. Worst of all, the horse show world she thought was so glamorous proves to be full of danger. It isn’t long before Cory’s winning spree catches the eye of a ruthless competitor who will stop at nothing to win. Trapped in the crosshairs of this vicious criminal, Cory must decide if she’ll once again back down and flee… or stay and stand up for herself, her horse, and her dreams.

False Gods is an uplifting horse story for all ages. If you like feisty heroines who stand up to bullies and stories about the healing power of horses, you’ll love False Gods. Buy the first book in the Maryland Equestrian series today.

Regina Hamilton is a teen with a big problem. Her abusive mom is getting out of prison…and Regina is the one who helped put her there.

With only three months to show the courts that she can support herself and avoid being forced back home with her mom, Regina lands a job at an exclusive dressage barn. The stakes are high: make enough to earn her keep or get out.

Struggling for her independence, she befriends an unlikely trio: a handsome but unusual boy who trains hawks, a reclusive professor of Celtic legends, and a half-wild red mare named Roheryn, who happens, by birth, to be a special mare. Celtic legend tells of the magic of such horses, and as unusual visions and happenings start to unfold, Regina’s bond with the mare takes on an almost supernatural quality.

But when barn workers start disappearing, Regina must navigate a dangerous web of lies and deceit. Roheryn shows Regina a violent vision and a few days later, a beloved horse at the dressage barn is attacked. Regina knows the mare is trying to protect her, but will it be enough. Long-held secrets about the imprisonment of Regina’s mother begin to surface and reveal surprising and potentially deadly threats. To save her horse and her life, Regina may have to trust her enemies and betray her friends.
