To the outside world, Sage Deverill has it all. In truth, her marriage is a gilded cage. When Sage flees, she takes her young son to the only place that has ever felt like home: her grandparents' estate in Newmarket, the beating heart of the racing world. Surrounded by ivy-clad walls, the kindness of her family and the thunder of hooves on the heath, Sage reconnects with the place, people and creatures she loves most. Riding beneath the wide Suffolk skies, Sage encounters Rafe Dunbarton - an ambitious, intriguing trainer with a gentle soul. What begins as friendship soon becomes an irresistible pull between two people who never expected to find each other. But just as Sage rediscovers her freedom, her past returns in a tangle of destruction and lies and she is forced to decide how much she is willing to risk for her future . . .

'She loved being back around horses, the smells and familiar sounds were comforting. She could feel her body gradually easing out of the grating panic mode it had been stuck in.' Sage Deverill, an unhappily married young woman, escapes from her brutish husband and equally unpleasant mother-in-law with her son and flees to her grandparents’ estate and equestrian grounds in Newmarket, the headquarters of the racing world. There Sage finds solace in the bond she forms with a tricky racehorse in her grandfather's care, and she also encounters Rafe Dunbarton, a handsome, intriguing trainer from just the other side of the heath. But just as Rafe and Sage take the first tentative steps towards love, her vengeful husband crashes back into Sage’s life in a tangle of destruction and lies... A sweepingly romantic and inspiring story about one woman's journey through heartache and happiness. ------ Readers have been utterly enchanted by the first book in the Spinning Silks saga: 'It’s absolutely enchanting, I can’t put it down' 'It’s been bliss to get into bed at the end of a long day and get to know Sage, Hal and Ralph and their families' 'A treat for heart and mind' 'Beautifully written and filled me with a deep sense of nostalgia' 'I have just finished your amazing book all in one day!
