Help Me Win

Cozy Six-guns and Sorcery, with a slice of found family. Novella length. Veteran trail-boss and inveterate gambler, "e;Lucky"e; Lukas Winner is run out of town when his luck runs out at the local town boss' crooked game. Broke and on the run, our misanthropic cowpoke is adopted by a young faerie child, orphaned by the massacre of his village. Lukas is adopted whether he likes it or not (and he doesn't) by a faerie child who doesn't speak a word of the common tongue and just keeps repeating the question "e;yupha mai"e;. Will he find a new home for the faerie he calls Yuphamai? Will he find a way to beat the murdering town boss at his own game? Will he ever figure out what yuphamai means?
