Wade Blackhorn had rode on the wild side of life in his younger years and had become a legend in the northern half of Wyoming. His past life was a well kept secret and no one in the small town of Cooper's Flat knew of it. Not even the woman he married. Wanting a more social life with glitter and glammer, she devised a scheme which included betraying Wade and taking her best friend's husband for herself. She was a poor poker player, betting a pair of deuces against a full house and the stakes were very, very high.
