The new event season is on the horizon, and India can’t wait. She’s been regaining the confidence of the two FEI ponies her sister failed to ride ever since Sophia aged out of Pony Trials, and her efforts finally seem to be getting her somewhere. But before the event season can begin there’s a whole different kind of season to get through, and all of India’s free time is taken up on the Thoroughbred stud her family runs. In addition to her event ponies, the foals, and a certain chestnut mare India just cannot shake from her mind, is the tension between her and Sophia, which isn’t going away. India’s held her tongue this long, but she feels it’s only a matter of time before one of them says something they’ll regret…

The moment Rio sees the skinny black gelding standing in the local meat man’s field, she resolves to save him. Gentle and exceptionally bred, Comet is the kind of horse Rio has always dreamed of owning - a horse to take on hacks through the vines, ride bareback at sunset, and maybe even compete in an event or two. Comet seems too good to be true, and Rio soon suspects that his past involved more than standing around in a field… But Rio has more to worry about than Comet. With five sisters to deal with - including Clemmie the bestselling romance novelist, Lia the ten-year-old taxidermist, and carefree Susannah who came back from her gap year with more than could fit in a suitcase - and a summer of renovating an old house complicated by the arrival of numerous guests, her family isn’t as perfect as her mum’s blog about their life in rural France suggests. And there’s Comet, a horse with his own story, and Rio soon discovers he could change her life in ways she’d never imagined. Except she’s not so sure she wants it to…
