Ex-Dallas Cowboy football star and Los Vegas gambler, Brady
Carrick hadn't been this excited in a long time. He knew
from the horse's bloodlines that Amber Mac was going to be
a good horse, but he just couldn't believe how great he
was. So, with cagey gambling skills and a bit of patience,
Marshall Carrick, Brady's father was able to get a winning
deal on the horse for only $43,000. Now, on the way back
to their ranch, Brady just couldn't wait to train him --
that is, of course, if his father could only trust him
again.
Stopping for a burger at Cliff's Diner, Dobbs, the head
trainer, couldn't help but tease Brady as he was so keen on
training Amber Mac. After Brady's boast that he could
train a novice player right up to the top professional
level, Dobbs calls him on it by suggesting that he should
train Molly, the cute blonde waitress serving them, to do
it and the bet was made that if he succeeded, he could
train Amber Mac.
Shocked that Molly actually accepts and later arrives at
the Cross Fox Ranch with her young son, Sam, in tow, Brady
grumbles, but finally settles into the reality of her
visit. Despite his grumbling, as Molly's spunk and
determination emerges, Brady starts to see Molly in a new
light.
Meanwhile, Molly had her own reasons for coming. Getting
away from her straightlaced oldtime preacher father was one
and the other was to give Brady the big payback that her
vengeance demanded, ever since her husband, Kevin Davis had
been killed. As time passes and her skill in poker
increases, Molly's vengeance starts to cool a little as she
sees a different side to Brady, even though he drove her
crazy when he tries to get her pudgy Sam to exercise more
and do some chores. She would teach him to interfere with
her life again as she strives to keep her focus on beating
Brady at his own game.
