    About this ebook

    Holly lost everything when her husband was thrown in prison. Divorced and broke, the only thing she has to fall back on is her cousin's offer to set her up in a little house at the edge of a ranch called the Tipped Z.

    Holly has never spent time on a working ranch before. Though she grew up wealthy in California and once hoped to complete on horseback in the Olympics, by the time her cousin’s wife invites her to go riding she hasn’t been in a saddle in 20 years. She’s not that interested in the idea of climbing onto a stock horse. But then she runs into her former trainer and secret love of her youth, Diego. She can’t help but hope he’ll be her second chance to live the life she feels she missed out on.

    Meanwhile, there's a mansion going up on the ridge behind her tiny house. It's presence represents the loss of important grazing to the Tipped Z. Holly finds herself with an opportunity to help the owner with his own horses. She needs the money, and she finds she doesn’t mind spending time with the super friendly and super rich Luke Rastenhaus despite the fact her cousin despises him.

    Suddenly riding with Diego, Luke, and also at the ranch, Holly finds herself pulled in three very different directions. She realizes she's going to have to deal with some unresolved aspects of her past if she hopes to figure out which path forward will lead to happiness.

    ---

    Vaquera's Haven can be read as a stand-alone novel, but it is the fourth book in the Tipped Z series. These novels combine horsemanship, family, love, and the Tucson desert into thoughtful, heart-warming reads.

    Stefani Wilder

    Stefani was born in Arizona. She spent her childhood exploring the wild foothills of the Sonoran Desert on horseback, often getting into scrapes on her sturdy mare, Blue. Always an avid reader, she won her first short-story writing contest at the age of 9 and had her first work published in a children's magazine when she was 10.Since then, Stefani has never stopped writing. While attending Northern Arizona University pursing degrees in English and traditional printmaking, her short stories appeared in a number of magazines, including Scribindi and the Edgar Review. Stefani's thesis project for her BFA involved the creation of a hand bound book and a collection of short stories, each modeled after a fairy tale and accompanied by an original serigraph print.Since her graduation with honors in 2006, Stefani has continued to write and to work with horses. She and her husband regularly rehab troubled horses and help their students improve their riding and handling skills. In 2012, she read one book too many that promised to be about horses but contained no horsemanship whatsoever. Her first novel aimed at creating a different kind of horse story, A Man Who Rides, came out in 2013 and became a #1 Amazon bestseller. Since then, her Tipped Z series has expanded to four titles. All these books are set on a fictional working ranch called the Tipped Z. Book number five, Vaquera's Bronc, is slated for publication in 2020.Stefani lives in Iowa City with her husband, her Australian Shepherd, and their small herd of horses. She also writes epic fantasy under the name Robin Stephen.
