A MATTER OF TRUST pdf

Eventing is a risky business. Flying at breakneck speed around a course of solid obstacles, where a split-second wrong decision could send you and half a ton of horse somersaulting through the air and crashing into the ground…

…but it is more than bones that Emma Mathews risks breaking when she goes to work at eventing yard, Coach House Stables. The yard is in trouble and they are in constant danger of losing their best horses. A situation not helped by the wild and unpredictable behaviour of talented rider, Daniel Ryan, who has a chequered past, and a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him.

Emma’s better judgement tells her she should walk away, back to her ordinary life, back to her safe, respectable job, and back to the boyfriend she has left behind – but her heart is already torn. Merlin, an ex-racehorse with an equally chequered past, is running out of chances. His path seems inextricably linked with Dan’s, and unless he starts winning, his owner will take him away and his fate will be sealed.

Dan and Merlin need her help, and despite the warning bells clanging in her mind, Emma feels compelled to try. But is she foolish to put her trust in Dan and risk losing everything she has?
