Welcome to Litsy!

From the internationally bestselling author of "Gossip Girl" comes a dark, psychologically complex update of "Black Beauty" replete with jealousy, romance, mystery, and redemption. Merritt Wenner has been selfdestructing ever since the tragic deaths of her grandmother and her horse. After an epic all-night bender, she walks out of the SAT and disappears. Her parents, looking for a quick fix, ship her off to a residential equine-assisted therapy program. At Good Fences, Merritt meets Red: a failed racehorse and a terror in the barn. Red has never bonded with anyone, but Merritt is not afraid of him, which makes all the difference. Soon they re sneaking rides after curfew. Red s owner, recognizing their potential, funds their launch into the hunter/jumper circuit. Against the cutthroat backdrop of competitive riding, Merritt finds herself unexpectedly attracted to Red s groom, Beatrice, and at the same time drawn to Carvin, a rival rider. But in Red s mind, Merritt belongs to him alone. Anyone else poses a threat. And Merritt can t imagine the lengths Red will go to keep her to himself."
