Barbara Ellin Fox writes clean, contemporary horse-world romance with high stakes and hard-won happily-ever-afters. She blends the charm of the East with the ruggedness of the West. A lifelong horsewoman, instructor, and industry expert, she brings authenticity to every story, weaving together her deep knowledge of horses, the people who love them, and the challenges they face. With a knack for creating strong heroines, compelling suspense, and heartfelt happily-ever-afters—for men, women, and their horses—her stories resonate with readers who dream of the equestrian life. A native New Yorker, Barbara now lives in Missouri with her husband and her wild mustang, Reno, close to her two daughters and granddaughters.
