The Daisy Chain – Revised & Expanded (The Cole Edwards Saga)

Prequel to The Cole Edwards Saga

A great country for men and dogs, but hell on women and horses. — Old Texas Proverb

In the 1890s Texas Hill Country, the town of Medea is ruled by scoundrels and bound by secrets. At its center stands Dannah Marshall — fierce, unyielding, determined to protect her family’s ranch even as everything around her begins to collapse.

Henry Edwards, a ruthless businessman, fights to hold his own family together while tightening his grip on Medea. Dannah’s defiance makes her his perfect target. But when her struggle draws in Cole Edwards — Henry’s eldest son and her childhood friend — their long-standing bond sparks both tenderness and betrayal, setting fire to a chain of events no one can contain.
