Lights, camera…horses!
In Love, Canter, Action by Katie Gilbert, Nora Green’s life is all about horses, until her world flips upside down and she ends up working on a movie set with a super annoying (and super famous) teen actor. After a total disaster moment goes viral, the two agree to fake date to save their reputations…but what starts as an act quickly gets way too real.
Between drama, secrets, and plenty of dreamy moments, Nora has to figure out if she’s willing to take a risk on love or stick to playing it safe. Perfect for anyone who loves horses, romance, and a little bit of chaos!
