Cole Hannible thought Abby Wilder couldn't light a firecracker without a flamethrower. She had to be the most dim-witted girl on Earth, in the solar system, in the universe - including the one with the planet of the apes on it. It was her fault; everything was Abby's fault including the fact that they were trapped in an abandoned barn playing poker while waiting for Hurricane Debbie to pass. Fortunately, Abby's self-image didn't depend on Cole Hannible's opinion of her. He didn't know, for instance, that she could peel an orange in one long strip, or that she could pull a cloth from beneath a table of dishes set for six without breaking a dish.?Cole did not know Abby was a?card-shark poker champion either, and that is something he should've know before he bet his Triple-Crown winner horse Dealer's Heart in a spontaneous game of Ma Ferguson. Will Cole forgive Abby when he finds out the truth or does he have an ace up his sleeve named revenge?
