About the Author

Since then, her vivid imagination has taken her down a path sheâd only dreamed of. And after twelve years of owning and working in salons, she hung up her shears to write full-time.
Jules doesnât just write Happily Ever After, she lives it. Married to her high school sweetheart, Jules and her hubby have two little girls who keep them smiling. She loves to hear from readers!

âWhen I want something, I find a way to make it mine.â
After a near-fatal accident, Hollywood hotshot Grant Carter never imagined returning to the equestrian world. But producing a movie about a racing dynasty means he has no choice. Luckily Tessa Barrington, star jockey, provides the distraction he needsâfeisty attitude, stunning looksâ¦and a surprising innocence he canât resist.
Tessa wonât give herself to just any man, especially a smooth-talking player like Grant. Once filming wraps, how can she trust heâll stick around? Heâs already keeping secrets. Besides, Tessa has her eye on bigger prizesâ¦unless falling in love is the biggest prize of all, for both of them.
This entire trilogy is for my amazing agent, Elaine Spencer, who, when I mentioned a horse series, said, âHorses? Iâm more familiar with dogs, but go for it.â From one animal lover to another, thanks for holding my hand during this journey.
Also, a special thank-you to F.J. Thomas, my Twitter buddy who answered many questions regarding the world of horses and racing.
Any mistakes are mine alone.
One
With a nice, round backside greeting him as he stepped over the threshold of the fancy stables, Grant Carter was more certain than ever that accepting this film project was not only a chance of a lifetime, it was a gift from God.
He might be looking to settle down and calm his ways, but to ignore the perfection displayed before him would be a sin. Besides, Grant knew his place, and he hadnât worked this hard in Hollywood to blow it just because temptation seemed to be glaring right in his face. Literally.
