Fox Ridge, The Phoenix, Book 4 (ePub)

As the title describes, if Katherine is going to attempt to rise up from what's left of the ashes of her life at Fox Ridge Equestrian Center, she is going to have to cowgirl-up. After losing all of her clients when her secret was exposed, paying her bills is going to be a challenge until things get sorted out. Katherine agrees to take on a horse that broke the leg of Hadley Vinton's top trainer the week before. This massive, rogue jumper called Jupiter is considered a dirty quitter on a jumping course, making this brute the most dangerous of all jumping horses. Katherine believes the problem is not the horse but rather, his owners and she is betting her life on it. Against all advice from her staff and from Brandon, Katherine knows she needs to make money to make payroll for the staff and taking on Jupiter is the best payday available right now. She also believes she can help Jupiter, if he doesn't kill her first!

The relationship between 20-somethings Jimmy and Brenda continues to blossom and we learn

Jennifer gets a new Western student in the form of a surgeon from the local hospital and sparks start to fly almost immediately, even though Jennifer has been dating her boyfriend Troy for a full year, she can't help but recognize the mutual attraction that is building.

Carl continues to work with "his ladies" but is also working with Katherine while she tries to help Jupiter. They argue about the right way to fix him. Katherine believes he needs patience and reassurance that no one is going to abuse him and Carl believes he needs spurs and a good riding crop to make sure he jumps what and when he is told to.

Their training conflict comes to a head when Katherine takes Jupiter to his first horse show since he broke the leg of Hadley's trainer. Katherine makes a critical mistake on course, which gives Jupiter the perfect opportunity to be the dirty quitter everyone believes him to be. Every trainer on the rail knows Katherine is about to be seriously injured or worse if she doesn't stop Jupiter immediately but she is a competitor, first and foremost. Pulling Jupiter off course isn't even an option in her mind. She decides to go for broke.

Will Jupiter do to Katherine what he did to Hadley's trainer or was Katherine correct in believing that Jupiter was never the problem?

In spite of Katherine's mistake on course, if Jupiter bails her out and jumps clean, they are certain to win the championship.
