Never bet more than you can afford to lose…

Caroline Pruett should've heeded that advice, because once she lost her stake, there was no
going back. Or was there? Desperation has clouded Caroline's judgment, because when she
loses King, her Thoroughbred stallion, to Micah Sutton in a poker game, the first thing she
does is steal him back. The adventure is not quite a success, however, and after accidentally
shooting Micah, Caroline and King are on the run.

Micah is a hard man to kill. He’s out to catch Caroline and retrieve his horse, but now there’s another complication. Seems there’s more than one horse thief in the Okanogan country and the girl isn’t the only one after King. Who’d ever thought he’d have to team up with a wildcat like her?
