The Project Horse — Natalie Keller Reinert

Horses are always a puzzle Posey can figure out. Love and life? Now, those pose a challenge.Posey Malone is heading home. With her horse trainer father gone to the great bookmaker in the sky, her love life in shambles, and her career as a copywriter low-income at best, she figures it's best for everyone if she just shacks up with her mother for a while. Abandoning New York City for the wilds of north Florida won't be easy, but Posey figures she can use some quiet time back in her old bedroom to save money, help her mom adjust to life without her dad, and get her head on straight again.So when she pulls up in front of the family house and sees a big For Sale sign in the front yard, please forgive Posey if she says a few swear words.Mom has a new place to work and live, and Posey has little choice but to tag along after her. Unfortunately, this means she's thrust back into the thick of the Ocala rivalries which chased her away from home eight years ago. Namely: Adam Salazar. The son of her father's ex-partner, Adam made her life a living hell as a teenager. One could almost say Adam broke up her entire family, if one wanted to blame someone. And Posey definitely wants to blame someone.Determined to show Adam up, Posey takes on a failed racehorse as her project horse. She'll prove she's a better trainer than he is, and save some pride in the process. But when Adam takes Posey's bet and starts training a project horse of his own, she finds herself spending more time than she anticipated with her arch-nemesis . . . and that the arrogant boy she remembers has been replaced by a handsome man who is determined to make amends.A story about growing up, coming home, and finding love: The Project Horse will take you on a gallop through Florida's horse country with plenty of friendship, laughter, and redemption along the way.
