Joe Bratt grew up like an unbroken mustang, and trouble never bothers to move out of his way. He scratched and clawed his way through a life of hard knocks and learned three things: fight when you must, never sit down to a fixed game of chance, and never, ever, get involved with a good woman. Joes holds true to his three rules until he meets Raylene Stanfield, a judge's well-educated daughter. That's when his whole world gets turned upside down!
