Five Thousand an Hour

As the Baltimore Handicap thunders past the finish, Johnny Gamble tears up his last betting tickets—and then looks up into the dark eyes of Constance Joy.

At the racetrack, Johnny has a hundred dollars left, a ruined business partnership behind him, and enough good humor to wager on a fifty-to-one shot. Then he spots Constance Joy, a beautiful heiress with a million-dollar fortune—and Paul Gresham standing close at her side. Johnny may be broke, but he is not short on nerve; before long, he is wondering how to make a million of his own, and why he wants to bite his rival. With old debts, uncertain fortunes and a very eligible heiress in play, can Johnny turn one lucky glance into a winning hand?
