The Daisy Chain: Revised & Expanded Edition

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. The Daisy Chain is a powerful tale of land, legacy, and the cost of survival. Revised and expanded, this edition deepens relationships, sharpens conflicts, and delivers a haunting resolution that lingers long after the last page. Perfect for readers of Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove), Thomas Savage (The Power of the Dog), Philipp Meyer (The Son), and fans of Taylor Sheridan (1883) — those who crave Western historical fiction steeped in atmosphere, grit, and unforgettable characters.
