Gambler Elijah Perry was on a winning streak, until he was shot in the leg and feared his good fortune was at an end. Then he awoke to find the straight-laced Joy Hardesty scowling at him and he saw he'd been dealt another tricky hand. And when dreams of a different kind of full house entered his head, he wondered if the gunshot had scrambled his brain. But as the lovely nurse tended to his wounds, he discovered a free, joyful spirit beneath her poker face, and a straight flush that bespoke an enchanting innocence. There was magic in the air, and Elijah realized that it was not a sleight of hand that had brought him to New Mexico, but Lady Luck herself. As he held the beauty in his arms, he knew that in winning the love of a lifetime, he'd more than broken even.
