Holly lost everything when her husband was arrested. Now divorced and at loose ends, the only thing she has to fall back on is her cousin's offer to set her up in a little house at the edge of a ranch called the Tipped Z. Growing up with wealth, privilege, and the dream of competing on horseback in the Olympics, Holly never guessed she'd end up in her mid-thirties divorced, homeless, unemployed, and nearly broke. She, a one-time Olympic hopeful, hasn't ridden a horse in almost 20 years. So when the friendly inhabitants of the ranch offer to take her riding, Holly doesn't exactly jump at the chance. She's accustomed to world-class eventers, after all. Not broken down cowponies. Meanwhile, there's a fancy mansion going up on the ridge behind her house. Its presence represents the loss of important grazing to the Tipped Z. When Holly has to chance to help the owner with his own horses, she realizes she may be able to forge a link between the super cute, super friendly and super rich Luke Rastenhaus and the ranchers he displaced. All she has to do is learn to love working cattle while teaching Luke what she's learning at the same time, and try not to lose her heart in the bargain. --- Vaquera's Haven can be read as a stand-alone novel, but it is the fourth book in the Tipped Z series. These books combine love, horsemanship, family, and the Tucson desert into easy-reading stories. For the richest experience, read them all! less
