For fans of Broken Country and The Heir Apparent, the first book in Callie Coles’ Spinning Silks trilogy—a sweeping love story about a woman trapped by a dangerous past, and the man who may offer a chance at hope and healing, in the lush Suffolk countryside.
To the outside world, Sage Deverill has it all. In truth, her marriage is a gilded cage.
When Sage flees from her marriage at a crumbling Panamanian estate, 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 in the British countryside. 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 racehorse 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 . . .
A woman seeks a fresh beginning after she flees an abusive marriage.
Sage Deverill takes her young son away from Panama back to the loving arms of her family along the British countryside.
Author Callie Coles offers a second chance for Sage as she finds herself at home among the horse racing industry in Tangled Webs.
Escaping a dangerous marriage, however, is only the first step in a complex process. Just as Sage begins to think she can find happiness with a racehorse trainer, a devastating event creates a compelling cliffhanger.
