Hearts Over Fences

Toni Leland

Romance is the last thing on equestrienne Bethany Webb's mind as she gazes across the lush green fields of Highover Gate, her prestigious world-class training facility - the dream of a lifetime. Before the day is over, Beth's future is snatched right out from under her in one wet, terrifying instant.

Ambitious and handsome Brett Hall's only objective is to unseat the national champion in Three Day Eventing. As Hall steadily gains on his goal, a chink in his armor allows his heart to peek out - a weakness that seriously undermines his focus.

Hearts Over Fences glows against the backdrop of Olympic-level equestrian sport - a world filled with drama and excitement - and a large measure of ambition.

“...a charming and clean love story

set in the heart of horse country and the horse industry.  It’s centered around the characters first, and story second - something I like.  Leland explores her character’s fears and ambitions.  Her piece profiles the sensitive dance of deciding whether someone is right for you.  Just loving them doesn’t mean they are.  They also must be good for you and your dreams.  Leland creates this situation with a backdrop of the business world of horses in Lexington Kentucky.” –Midwest Book Review, June 2005
