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 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 have thought he'd have to team up with a wildcat like her?

"C.K.Crigger's story moves at a quarter horse's pace and a thoroughbred's endurance. With a reluctant hero, a stubborn heroine and a King of a horse worth chasing across country, THE WINNING HAND is a delightful read that shows why we still love Westerns." -- Johnny D. Boggs, Wrangler award winning author of SPARK ON THE PRAIRIE and THE BIG FIFTY

"C.K. Crigger becomes one of our brightest treasures with this richly told, spellbinding tale of a man, a woman...and the horse that brings them together."--Ellen Recknor,two-time Spur Award winning author of PROPHET ANNIE and ME AND THE BOYS.
