A Horse of a Different Color

When stable owner Cheyenne Modine meets vet Jack Carter, it's hate at first sight. He may look like the sexiest man alive but his arrogance tells her he's a privileged member of the elite Lexington, Kentucky, Thoroughbred world. Cheyenne Modine is exactly Jack's type-A smoking hot woman who loves horses-but her slurred speech calls up childhood memories of living with an alcoholic father, and Jack isn't about to travel that road again. After several chance encounters, the fireworks between them become a contest to see who touches who first. Can Jack and Cheyenne overcome their mistaken first impressions or will their gallop to the finish line end in murder by horseshoe?

  • Save A Horse, Ride a Cowboy

    Kate, the Horse Whisperer, and Killer Cowboy, J.C., were high school sweethearts until he ghosted her in their senior year. They meet again at their ten-year reunion in Lexington, Kentucky, and their attraction reawakens, much to Kate’s alarm. When she takes a temporary job at a horse rescue farm, J.C.’s frequent visits to deliver rescued animals weakens Kate’s “never will I ever” pledge. To stop herself from falling again, she decides to use her whispering skills to entice J.C., so she can ghost him like he did her. The plan seems to be working until the Horse Gods step in to place bets on Kate and J.C.’s future race—together.
