Description: 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.
