CHAPTER SEVEN

JESSE BENT TO PICK up the shards of glass from the tumbler he’d thrown earlier, grimacing when one of the pieces sliced his finger. The glass had been one of a set her father had prized—given to him by the last man who’d ever trained a horse that won the Triple Crown, Big John had sworn the glasses were lucky.

So much for luck. Still, Jesse shouldn’t have thrown the stupid thing—the glasses were a tangible symbol of everything Desiree wanted and therefore were special to her. Besides, it didn’t belong to him. Like everything else on this ranch, it belonged to Desiree and would be passed on to their children when she died.

The fact that she came from money didn’t bother him—through the years he’d made a lot of money himself through his share of the winners’ purses as well as his hefty salary. Enough to start Cherokee Dreaming. Money wasn’t, and had never been, the issue.

What bothered him, what had always bothered him, was the fact that he and Desiree didn’t have a place of their own. A place that he had contributed to as much as, if not more than she had.

He threw away the pieces then crossed to the frame he’d knocked off the wall in his earlier fury. Without looking at the picture, he piled the broken glass on it before carrying it across the study to the trash can. It was only after he’d discarded the glass that he realized which frame had fallen.

It was then that he began to shake, even as he tried to ignore the yellowed newspaper article. Even as he told himself to remount it, to leave it on the desk, to walk away, he found himself reading the words Desiree had saved so long ago, and for a brief moment he was thrust back to where so much of this had begun.
