other favorite rule. “I found out there’s something more important than that.”
    â€œWhich is?” she asked.
    â€œDon’t count on anyone but yourself.”
    He saw the shadow that crossed her pretty face and wondered about it. But not enough to ask. He wasn’t here to get reacquainted. Although he didn’t remember that intriguing indentation in her chin. And he couldn’t help thinking how much fun it would be to explore.
    â€œI don’t think you learned the right lesson,” she said. “Who taught you that?”
    â€œYour sister. Rodeo week. The night I found her having sex with Zach Adams, who just happened to be the overall point winner at the state championships.”

Chapter Two
    â€œI didn’t know you’d found out about them like that,” she said, her already big eyes growing wider.
    Mitch looked around the kitchen, anywhere but at the shocked expression on Taylor’s face. When he finally met her gaze, his irritation dissolved just enough to let a little guilt seep in. He’d wanted to shock her, he realized. Why? Because she reminded him of everything he’d worked so hard to forget? Including his shabby background? If that was the case, he’d sunk to a new low. Or was he just living up to Destiny’s low expectations? It really didn’t matter. The truth was out and he couldn’t say he was sorry—except about Taylor. There was something still innocent about her.
    But he’d thought her sister was, too, and she’d thrown him over for another guy. Why would Taylor be any different? Not that it mattered. Because he wasn’t looking. But something about her appealed to him. For that reason alone he reminded himself to watch out for her.
    Still, it was a stretch for him to believe Taylor hadn’t known about him finding the lovers in Zach’s car. The two sisters had always been thick as thieves. Although he didn’t remember much about Taylor, his gut told him she wasn’t that good an actress.
    â€œJen didn’t tell you how we broke up?” he asked.
    â€œI didn’t know about her and Zach until after they’d eloped.” Her dark eyes were sad and angry at the same time.
    He casually lifted one shoulder. “How did your father take it?”
    â€œBetter than I expected.”
    â€œSo I came in a distant second with father and daughter.”
    Her gaze shot to his. “She didn’t plan it, Mitch. It just happened. She fell head over heels in love and—”
    â€œAnd stepped on anyone who stood in her way,” he finished. He didn’t care about Jen anymore. Why was he rehashing this? To push Taylor away? There was no need to do that. She was a member of Destiny’s founding family and her father had made it clear that he hated Mitch’s guts. Or at least the fact that Jen liked him. Taylor probably shared her father’s conviction and had a low opinion of him.
    â€œJen would never have deliberately deceived you.” A shadow clouded her face. “I think it all happened fast and she couldn’t bring herself to hurt you. I know my sister. I know how badly she felt.”
    â€œThen it’s real hard for me to believe you didn’t know about them.”
    And didn’t tell me, he silently added.
    â€œAre you calling me a liar?”
    â€œIs your last name Stevens?”
    â€œNo one set out to make a fool of you, Mitch.”
    Whether he believed her or not, the fact remained that it happened ten years ago. He hadn’t thought about Jen in a long time. What was it about coming back to Destiny that churned everything up again?
    â€œYou’re right. I apologize.” He rubbed a hand across his neck.
    â€œThat first year on the rodeo circuit must have been hard on you,” she said. “Seeing Jen and Zach all the time.”
    The last thing he wanted was her pity. “Only because I came in second.” She opened her
