Wounded in body and spirit after a shootout, Rayford Jessup leaves his career as a lawman and uses his gift with damaged horses to bring meaning to his solitary life.

Josephine Cathcart loves two things- her illegitimate son and her injured stallion.

But as vengeful forces conspire against them, will Rafe's love and healing touch be enough to save her horse and protect her and her son

Reviews

Praise for Where the Horses Run:
"Lawman-turned-wrangler Rafe Jessup cant help trying to save things, whether its people or horses. He ends up in England choosing thoroughbreds for Ash Wallaces Heartbreak Creek horse ranch and finds a badly injured horse and a woman who desperately needs someone on her side, so he does what comes naturally. He knows he can help Pembrokes Pride, but saving lovely Josephine Cathcart, Pems owner and the single mother of an illegitimate son, is another matter entirelyunless they are willing to risk everything on a race that Pems might not win. VERDICT A resilient, poorly used heroine and a rugged, caring hero overcome almost insurmountable odds to find safety and happiness in a compelling, radiantly written romance that boasts a rich assortment of unusual, appealing secondary characters and is laced with wry humor and a surprisingly chilling dash of very real danger." --Library Journal

"Rich with character development...emotion suffuses the tender romance between the privileged yet resilient Englishwoman and the tough American horse trainer." --Publishers Weekly

"Warner blends a bit of The Horse Whisperer into a passionate tale of an emotionally wounded woman and the ex-lawman turned wrangler who frees her soul to love again. This beautifully rendered love story is tough and tender--just what Warner's fans have come to expect from this gifted storyteller." --RT Book Reviews
