Wild Heart: An Equestrian Romance

She's afraid to love again, and he's afraid to love at all ... until their shared love for horses shows them how to love each other. In one day at a horse show in 1975, Linny Eagan loses her job, her beloved, and her dream of becoming an equestrian champion. The triple loss forces her to invent a new dream-this time skipping the romance part and trusting only in horses, which can never betray her. Her first try lands her at a public trail-riding stable on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. There she meets Con Winston, who dreams of being a Western artist on his own Montana ranch. But he must play family head-games for two more years, when he will inherit a fortune that will make his dream come true. Until then he won't waver from his path, or give himself to anyone. Yet in working together with horses, he and Linny discover a perfect match of heart and mind. But Linny doesn't share Con's dream and won't ask him to sacrifice it; and Con feels the same way about her dream. When things fall apart at the stable, they regretfully continue in opposite directions, connected only by Con's half-wild horse. Living apart finally proves to them that dreams need love to sustain them, and the only chance to have both is to reinvent a new dream together.
