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 Ralph Dunbarton, a handsome, intriguing trainer from just the other side of the heath. But just as Ralph and Sage take the first tentative steps towards love, her vengeful husband crashes back into Sage's life...
