Springtime at Catoctin Creek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956575101)

Nadine came back to Catoctin Creek without much hope of ever fitting in there. Her goals? Work a steady job as barn manager at Elmwood Equestrian Center, keep an eye on her mom, and keep her head down. Three things which would be easier without the constant annoyance of the riding instructor and her next-door neighbor, Sean.

Sean Casey never meant to stay in Catoctin Creek for long. His heart is on the big horse show circuit, along with his friends, and he's going back on the road as soon as he can. Assuming he ever finds someone with deep enough pockets to fund his dreams. As the riding instructor at Elmwood, he has his pick of rich older women to con into sponsoring him. It's a task which would go a lot more smoothly if that workhorse Nadine would get off his back.

Nadine is counting the days until Sean finally leaves Elmwood; Sean is exasperated with Nadine's grinding work ethic. Both have been going out of their way to avoid working with each other. So when spring brings the challenge of working together on Rosemary Beckett's sales horse, they're surprised to find they aren't the worst of colleagues, after all . . . and not bad neighbors, either.

With an enemies-to-lovers romp through the beautiful small-town setting of Catoctin Creek, a dash of daring horses, and spring in bloom all around, Springtime at Catoctin Creek is a charming, cozy romance perfect for your next lazy-day escape.
