Plot summary
Pat Pemberton can beat the field at golf and tennis, but not when her fiancé Collier Weld is watching. His presence flusters her, and he would rather she marry him and leave the sport behind. The top prizes in the women's game are within her grasp, and she will not set her own goals aside. She hires Mike Conovan, a sports promoter with a shady reputation, to handle her career, and part of the arrangement is keeping Collier out of the way. Mobsters and a jealous boxer cross their path, and something warmer than a business partnership builds between the promoter and his athlete.
