Spirit Horse - Manuela Schneider

When Fear is the Wildest Ride, Only Courage Can Lead You Home.

Cody was once a rodeo legend, but one devastating day in Cheyenne shatters everything-his career, his best friend's trust, and the life he's worked so hard to build. A bitter divorce and the sting of betrayal leaves deeper wounds than his physical injuries ever could. Lost in a haze of whiskey and regret, Cody watches his parents' ranch slip away, taking his hope for the future with it.

But when an old friend offers a lifeline-a job on a remote Montana ranch-Cody takes the chance to rebuild. Just as life starts to mend his broken spirit, danger follows him to this quiet refuge as two relentless killers target the very people who've welcomed him in-adding a new layer of peril to his already fragile path to redemption.

Now, Cody's not just fighting for his own redemption, but for a future he thought he'd never deserve-and the woman who's begun to heal his heart. His only partner in this battle is Lightning, a scarred stallion who shares his struggle to survive. Together, they'll face their deepest fears, trusting each other to save the family they've found and the life they're willing to risk everything for.
