She meets James, an intriguing yet guarded equestrian who doesn't give her the time of day...not that she cares. She also meets Ren, a sweet veterinarian's assistant, who Charlie strikes up an immediate friendship with.Charlie's complex relationship with her mother and the fallout of her parents' very recent divorce cause her to struggle with opening up, but as she gets closer to her friends at the stables and uncovers the truth about James, she begins to discover that romance might be worth a try after all, despite the inevitability of it all going wrong.
