Widowed poker pro Felicia "The Philly Flash" Francis donates poker lessons to a charity auction, because the proceeds will provide therapeutic riding for special needs children, her late husband Jay's passion-even though horses scare her.

Burt Stone, an old-money, world-class equestrian whose accident resulted in his horse's death and his inability to ride, purchases the lessons on a whim. Their fierce chemistry pushes them together-but their old hurts pull them apart.

Felicia's late husband urges her to move on and let Burt into her life, and Burt discovers he wants to free himself of old attachments so he can pursue Felicia. Both come to realize that they need to play hard, with their whole hearts, to win at the game of love.
