Overview
Saddle up for this swoony enemies-to-lovers romance, full of giggles, snark, and heart, perfect for fans of Kasie West and Emma Lord. Nora Green wants out. Out of rural Georgia-and, more importantly, out of the house she's been resentfully occupying with her father and his wife. It's been five months since her mama died and the state dumped her on her father's doorstep, and Nora's been counting every second. With the sudden closure of the Shep horse ranch, Nora's last home-away-from-home, comes two surprises: news of her admission to a prestigious equine training program in Montana, and a job wrangling horses on a movie set to cover the costs. To her eternal nightmare, she discovers that the movie stars teen heartthrob Alexander Mathis, hot off the heels of a very public scandal. Not that Nora cares who he is-to her, he's just the obnoxious stranger who interrupted her dinner the night before. When photos of their argument are misread as a passionate affair, the Internet falls head-over-hooves for Hollywood's newest couple. Eager to capitalize on the press, Alec offers Nora a deal: go on three fake dates with him, and he'll cover her ticket to Montana. But the lines between script and reality have a way of blurring, and when the truth about Alec's scandal catches up to him, Nora has a choice: continue shutting everyone out, or open her heart to the love that's always been around her.

Reviews
""This book has star power! I loved it. Adorable, romantic, and fun. It has it all."" --Kasie West, author of Sunkissed ""A small-town romance with big heart. Love, Canter, Action pulls no punches in its humor or sincerity, and delivers a unique spin on the fake-dating trope through rustic charm and searing chemistry on every page."" --Sujin Witherspoon, author of Bingsu for Two ""Love, Canter, Action brims with small-town Southern charm, a sweet slow-burn celebrity romance, and enough time in the saddle to gladden the hearts of horse girls everywhere. This is a full meal of a book: grits and greens and tender ribs, with homemade peach cobbler for dessert. I laughed, I cried, and I felt the wind in my hair while galloping through this delightful debut by Katie Gilbert, a sparkling new voice in YA romance."" --Amanda Sellet, author of By the Book
Author Information
Katie Gilbert was born and raised in south Georgia, where she learned that boiled peanuts and grits are the most important part of a balanced diet. She enjoys telling stories about tough girls with big dreams, and the love they find along the way. Outside of writing, she spends her time reading, hiking, and thinking up new ways to slip cringe-worthy puns into daily conversation. Love, Canter, Action is her debut.
