So come along for the ride as Kate and Holly dive into a stormy summer filled with secrets and lies and impossible dreams. It's a summer you'll never forget.

Book 1: Keeping Secrets

A beautiful show jumper is dead, and it’s all her fault . . . which is why 14-year-old Kate McGregor has put horses and riding out of her life.

Forever!

But her new job as a companion to Holly Chapman, a former riding star who’s now confined to a wheelchair, takes Kate back to the barn—the last place she wants to be.

Can Kate keep her terrible secret from Holly, who is fast becoming her best friend? More important, can she keep her secret from Angela Dean who lives for only two things—winning ribbons and causing trouble?

Kate manages to hide her secret until a riding accident forces it into the open ... and it's just the moment Angela has been waiting for.

Book 2: Racing into Trouble

Ever since Kate McGregor arrived at Timber Ridge Stables, Angela Dean has been making trouble. Maybe she’s angry because Kate’s a better rider than she is, or maybe she’s jealous because Kate's the only one who's allowed to ride Buccaneer, the barn's willfull new horse.

To further complicate matters, a new girl—Jennifer West—moves into the neighborhood and Angela sets out to impress her. But when Angela makes a fool of herself in front of Jennifer, things begin to go wrong and Kate gets the blame.

Is Angela behind the trouble?

Kate and her best friend, Holly, who’s learning to walk and ride again, can’t be sure. But they do know one thing. If Angela's on the warpath, Kate is heading for trouble, and fast!

Book 3: Riding for the Stars

A movie is being filmed at Timber Ridge Stables, and one lucky girl is actually going to be in it. Of course, Angela Dean wants the spotlight, but Kate McGregor wants it even more. With the money she’d earn from the movie, Kate can make her special dream come true. She can buy a horse of her own.

What will Angela do to stop her? She’s tried all manner of dirty tricks in the past. But now a beloved horse is missing. Would Angela go that far?

Book 4: A Horse of Her Own

Kate McGregor wants a horse of her own more than anything in the world, but the pitiful animal she rescues from the dog-food factory is hardly the horse of her dreams.

Still, Kate’s betting that one day her scrawny horse will be a champion. Together they’ll win blue ribbons and beat the spiteful Angela Dean once and for all.

But can Kate do it? Even her best friend, Holly, is doubtful, especially when Angela spreads the rumor that Kate’s horse might be stolen property.
