"Sixteen year old Lucy Rose is spending her first summer away from home and she has two things on her mind: an abandoned, violent horse and a blue-eyed cowboy. Only neither is hers.
Lucy has never attracted much attention from boys, but she can’t seem to ignore her blue-eyed co-worker, Casey Parker. A true cowboy, Lucy becomes enthralled by his gentle way with the horses at the Red Rock Ranch. However, she is very aware that Taylor Johnson, rodeo queen extraordinaire and blonde bombshell, already has her spurs in him. And, there’s no crossing Taylor.
. . . Not until a mysterious horse appears on the ranch and pushes Lucy and Casey together. The two are willing to do anything to save the black gelding that doesn’t want a thing to do with them . . . or the human race. But, every step forward with the once-broken animal makes Lucy fall harder – for him and for Casey."

I believe it's middle school appropriate, there are heroes, villains, good and evil, no bad language.

Thank you, I hope you like this one.

For your tween readers I humbly recommend my adventure series The Untimely Journey of Veronica T. Boone. (The second book in the series became a #1 Amazon bestseller last week, which I think is kind of funny because the first and third haven't risen that far yet. But I'm not complaining!) Laurentide

Two girls, students at the same school but separated by 130 years, must work together to prevent a crime that allows evil-doers to travel through time and change history.
The books are positive about America, educational (with dozens of pictures explaining real-life characters and events), and focus on friendship and responsibility. Kids love the adventure and adults have praised how the books bring lesser-known people and history to life.
