Runaway by Marie-Louise Jensen
Charlotte's life has been torn apart. Disguising herself as a stable boy, she seeks refuge at a grand country estate. There, she meets Belle, a horse so beautiful and kind Charlotte almost forgets the disturbing events that forced her into hiding. But as she's stopped running from her past, it's rapidly catching up with her . . .
