    About this ebook

    Growing up on a ranch, Nora learned the value of hard work. But now she's worried a childhood punching cattle didn't prepare her for adult life in the modern world.

    It's not that Nora doesn't love the Tipped Z. She wouldn't trade her childhood starting colts and driving cattle through sagebrush for anything. But between her close-knit family, the endless work, and the hours in the scorching sun, she feels like she has to fight for the space to be herself.

    So when Nora's boyfriend, Ted, encourages her to take a job for the TruGlide Corporation advertising their patented reining shoes, she thinks it will be a good change. What she doesn't count on is how demeaning the work will feel. That would be bad enough on it's own. What's worse is Ted is thrilled, clearly thinking she's the perfect fit for the role.

    While she's stuck in a job she's beginning to loathe, Nora's lifelong crush, Wyatt, agrees to help out at the Tipped Z to fill in for her absence. Every time Nora and Wyatt are together the sparks seem to fly. But Wyatt has a history of leaving. His life as a roving colt starter makes him hard to pin down. Despite his allure and the chemistry between them, Nora knows better than to think she could change him.

    Unless, of course, Nora doesn't know Wyatt as well as she thinks she does.

    ---

    A Man Who Starts can be read as a stand-alone novel, but it is the second book in the Tipped Z series. These novels combine horsemanship, family, love, and the Tucson desert into thoughtful, heart-warming reads.

    Stefani Wilder

    Stefani was born in Arizona. She spent her childhood exploring the wild foothills of the Sonoran Desert on horseback, often getting into scrapes on her sturdy mare, Blue. Always an avid reader, she won her first short-story writing contest at the age of 9 and had her first work published in a children's magazine when she was 10.Since then, Stefani has never stopped writing. While attending Northern Arizona University pursing degrees in English and traditional printmaking, her short stories appeared in a number of magazines, including Scribindi and the Edgar Review. Stefani's thesis project for her BFA involved the creation of a hand bound book and a collection of short stories, each modeled after a fairy tale and accompanied by an original serigraph print.Since her graduation with honors in 2006, Stefani has continued to write and to work with horses. She and her husband regularly rehab troubled horses and help their students improve their riding and handling skills. In 2012, she read one book too many that promised to be about horses but contained no horsemanship whatsoever. Her first novel aimed at creating a different kind of horse story, A Man Who Rides, came out in 2013 and became a #1 Amazon bestseller. Since then, her Tipped Z series has expanded to four titles. All these books are set on a fictional working ranch called the Tipped Z. Book number five, Vaquera's Bronc, is slated for publication in 2020.Stefani lives in Iowa City with her husband, her Australian Shepherd, and their small herd of horses. She also writes epic fantasy under the name Robin Stephen.
