To everyone he''s every played dice with, Mitch Corley seems like the luckiest guy around. But in truth, Corley''s fast hands are the only gift fate''s ever given him. He''s never held down a steady job, and when it comes to women, his luck might just be the worst of all -- his girlfriend and partner-in-crime Red would double-cross him in a heartbeat if she knew just how short on cash they really were.

But Corley forgot about one thing: Texans don''t forgive easily. And there''s nothing they hate more than a cheater.
