Letters to Elise

By Coda Sterling

When Ivy Stonewall rescues a pregnant mare from a kill pen, their hair-raising escape is just the beginning. At the veterinary clinic, she meets intriguing Jax Carter, who is there to pick up medication for his aging horse. Their connection is immediate, deepening as they work together on a charity gala committee.

But both carry wounds that haven't healed. Ivy's ex-husband refuses to accept their divorce, showing up in her life with increasingly desperate lies. Jax harbors a grief so profound he can barely speak it aloud-a secret that makes him question whether he deserves a second chance at happiness.

When Ivy discovers something that makes her question everything she thought she knew about Jax, she walks away heartbroken. And when tragedy strikes during what should have been a routine patrol, both must face whether love is worth the risk of loss-and whether some wounds can only be healed together.

Letters to Elise is a story about second chances, the bonds between humans and horses, and the courage it takes to open your heart again.
