Can't Be Tamed (Horse Country #1)
by Yamile Saied Méndez (Author)
Welcome to Paradise Ranch, where everyone can get a second chance.
Carolina Aguasvivas grew up on Paradise Ranch, which she knows down to every last pony. But things are sure to change when the new owner's daughter, Chelsie Sánchez, sweeps in with an attitude and a feisty Thoroughbred named Velvet. The mare is skittish, headstrong, and hurt -- and Carolina is determined to ride her.
Chelsie, who considers herself too good to clean stalls, certainly doesn't seem like a real horse girl. Caro knows she's the only one who can help Velvet recover, and she's ready to prove it -- no matter what it takes.
The girls may discover they have more in common than they think... including a passion for bringing the healing power of horses to every kid.
