Level Ground

Emma McKenzie specializes in healing broken horses - she never expected to heal a broken man.

Running a rescue operation for traumatized ex-racehorses while raising eight-year-old Jemima as a single mother, Emma has learned to be self-sufficient. When her latest rescue Phoenix causes destruction on the neighbouring golf course, she expects a legal battle with new owner Ryan Wardell. Instead, the stressed corporate refugee becomes fascinated by her rehabilitation methods and the peaceful world of Ridgewater.

As Phoenix's Olympic-level potential emerges and Ryan applies his business expertise to expanding Emma's operation, their partnership deepens into something Emma never thought she wanted; a chance at love that doesn't diminish her strength. But when Phoenix's triumph at the Royal Queensland Show brings offers from international buyers, Emma faces her biggest choice: playing it safe or trusting that the best partnerships make both people stronger.

Sometimes new beginnings start with broken fences.
