About this eBook

ACE IN THE HOLE

Gunn hears a woman's sobs coming from a lone wagon. He stops to see if he can be of service but is met by the snout of a cocked pistol. The woman holding it is Debbie Barnes, young, pretty and well-endowed. In the wagon is her father Caleb, a gambler who has been pistol-whipped and tarred and feathered by some roughnecks hired by Nat Larrabee. Larrabee, owner of one of the largest gambling halls in town, wants revenge on Caleb after he won too much money.

Feeling more than pity for the blue-eyed beauty, Gunn offers his help—only to find that he'll have to lay a lot more than his cards on the table...
