The Miller/Sheppard series was Laura Moore’s first set of connected romance novels, and it established the equestrian themes she would return to throughout her career. Ride a Dark Horse and Chance Meeting, both published in 2001, introduced readers to her blend of horse-country settings and character-driven love stories. In Your Eyes followed in 2004, rounding out a trilogy that feels rooted in a specific place and way of life.

These books focus on people whose lives revolve around horses, whether through breeding, training, or competition. Moore writes the equestrian world with familiarity, and the romance plots grow naturally from the characters’ shared passions and proximity. The Virginia countryside is almost a character itself, and readers who went on to enjoy the Silver Creek or Rosewood series will recognize the foundations Moore built here.
