❤️ Once Upon a HorseA heartwarming small-town Christmas romance about second chances, faith, and finding home where you least expect it.
When big-city accountant Stella Barkley gets stranded on a country road, the last thing she expects is a rescue from a handsome veterinarian with a pocket full of dog treats. But from the moment Dr. Jason Alba kneels beside her car—with her mischievous Jack Russell, Milkbone, wagging his approval—Stella’s well-ordered life begins to change.
In the idyllic town of Heavenbrooke, where rolling fields meet holiday lights, sparks fly as opposites attract. Stella dreams of boardrooms and skyscrapers, while Jason’s heart belongs to the land and the animals he cares for. Yet neither can deny the growing connection between them.
When a prize mare goes missing, secrets come to light, testing their trust and courage. Thanksgiving brings laughter, chaos, and a burnt-turkey rescue that draws them even closer—but Christmas brings a heartbreaking choice that could tear them apart. Alone on Christmas morning, Stella leaves a letter at the church where it all began… never expecting the miracle waiting for her there.
Can love bridge the distance between city dreams and country hearts?
Will faith and forgiveness lead them to a second chance under the mistletoe?
✨ Once Upon a Horse is a cozy, feel-good holiday romance for fans of Debbie Macomber and Irene Hannon—filled with humor, hope, and the healing power of love.
