Publisher's Synopsis
1850s England: Emma Trigg has always accepted her grandfather's wish for a union between herself and her cousin Hamilton. Their marriage will ensure a continuation of the equestrian tack-making business on Saddler's Row, satisfy her aunt, and provide Emma with a secure future. But at Chester's Midsummer Fair, a chance encounter with personable horse dealer Josh Brookfield sparks a whole different chain of events. A friendship is severed, long-held secrets come to light, and Emma is drawn down an uncertain path. Can she ever forget the man with laughter in his eyes and the soul of a poet?
