Lizzi Tremayne

Welcome!

I grew up in a very Main Street town in the Santa Cruz Mountains on the West Coast, where the narrow little road had to curve around the redwoods to get anywhere at all. Half a world away, my love for Main Street towns still shows no signs of diminishing.

I began my career as an equine veterinarian in California, then went on to learn acupuncture, chiropractic, Postural Rehabilitation. Somewhere in there, I moved south, way south, and then finally developed an equine veterinary dental practice while I raised my boys in lovely, green, Aotearoa (New Zealand).

I wrote awarded non-fiction as an equine veterinarian, mostly articles for veterinary journals and horse magazines, but eventually, life offered me the opportunity to put pen to paper and write as I’d only done as a youngster in the California redwoods.  I love writing. My stories are now in my blood and I’ve got the bit in my teeth! I’ve been writing an historical romantic thriller series, but I’m soon to be writing a girl-equine veterinarian contemporary series, now that I’ve joined Authors of Main Street! Think female James Herriot in 20th century America! Watch for it in the Christmas Boxed Set!

I was a: Finalist 2013 RWNZ Great Beginnings; Winner 2014 RWNZ Pacific Hearts Award (New Zealand’s equivalent of the RWA Golden Heart Award); Winner 2015 RWNZ Koru Award for Best First Novel plus third in Koru Long Novel section (New Zealand equivalent of the RWA RITA); and Finalist in the 2015 Best Indie Book Award. I’m a past secretary and past president of the Romance Writers of New Zealand.

When I’m not writing, I’m swinging a rapier or shooting a bow in medieval garb, riding, driving a carriage, playing on my farm, singing, or working as an equine veterinarian.

I hope you love my characters and their animals as much as I do. I put my understanding of horses, veterinary medicine, history, things that happen between people, and especially my heart, into my stories.

I hope they give you pleasure.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

☆•* *•☆  Lena Takes a Foal  ☆•* *•☆

She needs help… he needs to stay away…

Lena Scott has a problem—one that might prevent her from graduating from veterinary school.

After a messy divorce, Kit Allen returns to his first loves—horses and his old veterinary school alma mater. He excels at imparting his knowledge to students and is determined to earn a tenure track position. Becoming involved with anything but a pager—ever—isn’t in the cards. Especially a talented and beautiful student in need of his assistance.

When Lena’s horse rears over backwards and lands on her, it has to be the dashing resident, Kit, who finds her. Luckily for her, she’s sworn off relationships after her last romantic disaster. She has more important things to worry about than sea-green eyes and rugged good looks.

Besides, if there’s one thing a veterinary school faculty frowns upon, it’s a relationship between a resident and a student…

like oil and water, they just don’t mix.

A new country, a great job, and a “good Kiwi bloke”.
Life couldn’t be better.
Until it gets worse.

Newly emigrated to New Zealand, equine veterinarian Lena wants a “good Kiwi bloke”, but they’re elusive as their nocturnal namesake. Her history with men is not, shall we say, salubrious.

Nigel’s avoiding females, unless they’re cows, horses, or his mother. After his first marriage, he won’t be responsible for anyone else’s life ever again.

Sparks fly when they meet, but not that first time, over the dirty instruments in a filthy cowshed. They’re made for each other… until Nigel remembers where he first saw her. And then the questions start.
