Hill Country Cattleman (2013)
““I didn’t mean...that is, well, when Raleigh escorted me home today, we raced Lady and his roan from about a mile out of town to that old tree that’s split by lightning,” she said. “Both horses are really fast, and I was just thinking maybe he’d like to enter them in the race, that’s all.” She waved a hand in airy dismissal of the subject, though deep down she knew that if sundown wasn’t fast approaching, she’d be trying to find some excuse to ride over to Colliers’ Roost and tell the handsome ...cowboy about the race.
Guilt stabbed at her then. Why hadn’t her first thought been how interested Gerald would be when he read her letter, telling about the prospective race?

Violet could imagine a well-publicized match race between their best horse in the Lullington stud and a champion from the local horses.MoreLess
