Teens

synopsis

Synopsis

A half-wild horse, a Celtic legend, and a teen trying to escape… Regina Hamilton has three months to prove to the courts she can earn a living on her own and avoid going home to her abusive mother—a tall order for a teen with only her riding skills to rely on. Desperate to prove herself, Regina lands a job at an exclusive dressage barn. But when workers start to mysteriously disappear, she becomes ensnared in a web of lies and deceit. With time running out and unsure who to trust, Regina turns to an unlikely trio: an unusual boy who trains hawks, a reclusive professor of Celtic history, and a half-wild red mare. Together they form a bond that will be tested when a long-held secret exposes a much greater threat—and Regina’s the target. To save her horses and her life Regina may have to trust her enemies and betray her friends.

Author Biography

Inspired by everyday miracles, L.R. Trovillion weaves magical stories of hurting people who find hope through horses in her Maryland Equestrian Novel series. Although she earned a degree in Russian and spent a career in government service, her real love has been caring for and working with horses. That love shines through in her series, focusing on the healing power of horses in the lives of teens facing complex and sometimes dangerous family situations. Believing there is more to this world than meets the eye, she adds a dash of the supernatural to each story. L. R. Trovillion lives on a small horse farm in Maryland with her husband, daughter, and several animals that really run the place. Her other works have appeared in Baltimore magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and various poetry anthologies.

Need a Feel Good Story?

We all need a little stroking, a little encouragement sometimes. This week I got a wonderful letter from a reader saying how much she enjoyed my books and when was the third one coming out? I have to admit I've stalled on the equestrian series and turned my attentions to another writing project. Her note, however, got me thinking. In these discouraging, upsetting times what readers need is a feel good story, something where the good guys win, the underdogs triumph, and there's hope and healing. That's what the Maryland Equestrian series is all about--hurting people who overcome with the help of horses. The stories are uplifting and maybe what we all need now.

Horse Gods: The Dressage Rider’s Betrayal

The next day is warm for a change. A little tingle shoots through me when I see Declan’s truck idling in his usual pick-up spot outside school. I’m pulling the passenger door shut when his fingers circle my wrist. He pulls, stretching my arm out, exposing the inside. Should have kept my jacket on.

“What happened to you?” He points to the purplish streaks just above my wrist.

“Cowboy boots.” I snatch my arm back and hug it to my side.

“What did they do? Walk across your arm?” His brows come together, wrinkling his forehead.
