title: The Gift Horse
author: Davenport, Jami
description: Never look a Gift Horse in the mouth.
  Carson Reynolds would dispute that statement. A gift horse got him into this mess in the first place. His mission: transform a run-down horse farm into the premium facility in the Pacific Northwest and a disorganized horse trainer with a penchant for self-sabotage into a winner.
  
  After six years, Samantha MacIntyre has returned to the scene of a horrific barn fire allegedly caused by her carelessness. She accepts the head trainer position at that run-down facility to prove her innocence and to ride the talented, temperamental horse Carson received as a birthday gift. But first, she must pass the test: compete the horse for one season, impress Carson, and best his sister's preferred trainer.
  
  As Sam and Carson get closer to the truth and mishaps escalate into serious accidents, and with the help of an opinionated equine, they face a surprising reality--that love is more important than ambition, money, or blue ribbons.
