Late one rainy night she crawls into Driscoll's office window and falls at his feet. Intrigued by the woman, he offers her a job as the only female dealer in the Rose Room.Amelia is secretive about who she is, and where she lives since she can trust no one, much to Driscoll's frustration. The growing attraction between them and his desire for her is causing him to dismiss the fact that crowds of gamblers swarm her table each evening, but the profits she turns in are not what they should be.
