Orion Culhane had always earned his way with a gun. But the time he worked as a stagecoach guard and shot five bandits in one day, he'd finally had enough. He never wanted to shoot at anyone--or be shot at--again. So when he got the chance to work as a bank official in Corinne, Utah, he accepted.

But Culhane would have refused the job if he'd known all the facts. No one had told him, for instance, that he'd be working for a woman. He didn't know, either, that his reputation as a gunman was what had really won him the position. And he had no idea that his work would soon lead to a necktie party--with him as the guest of honor!
