A gambler seeking forgiveness for accidentally killing a man attempts to help the dead man's widow, but she wants nothing to do with him--no matter how badly she needs him.
Gambler Gabe Coulter's confrontation with a disgruntled cowboy leads to a family man dying in his arms. Even though it was self-defense, the only way Gabe knows to get rid of his guilt is to return the money he won to the man's wife. Lara Talbot sees Gabe as a derelict like her husband and wants nothing to do with him. But as she struggles to provide for her family and makes plans to claim property in the upcoming Oklahoma land rush, she wonders if God might have sent the meddling gambler to help.

I had mixed feelings about this book. I absolutely loved the characters and the plot and all the things they had to overcome on their way into Indian Territory. It was great to read the historical parts, about the land rush and what motivated people to take part.
However, this is yet another book where the publisher didn't care enough to spend the money on a good editor. There are sentences that don't make sense, wrong spellings of right words...in general, simply a sloppy finish from the publisher. As a grammar freak, this gets on my last nerve and is always going to deduct stars from my rating.
So, overall, 3.75. I'd definitely recommend it as a pleasant and entertaining read, but probably won't spend money to buy my own copy.
