Finding her missing father has become an obsession to Frannie Hart.
To do so she becomes a mail-order bride.
Although she’s a pretty young woman traveling alone, Frannie isn’t worried. She grew up on her father’s ranch and learned to shoot a gun better than any man there. It’s a good thing, too, because as soon as she arrives in Sweetwater, Kansas, she steps into the middle of a gunfight between the sheriff and bank robbers. She can’t let them take the banker as hostage, because he’s the man she’s come to marry. She’s counting on him to help her find her father, or at least provide a place for her to live while she searches. Barely in town, and she has to save his hide. Too bad some of the outlaws escape.

Wade Perkins, Sweet Water’s banker, is terrified of guns after seeing his brother shot to death when they were kids. Fainting in front of his bride before they’ve had a chance to meet isn’t his proudest moment. Of course, he doesn’t know she’s his bride until later. He thought he was marrying a society girl, not a sharpshooter. Although, her expertise might come in handy since this isn’t the first time his bank was robbed.

Frannie and Wade have more than their share of problems. The escaped outlaws seek revenge against Frannie’s interference at the bank. She’s worried about her missing father, and they must adjust to their differences. Will they weather the early storms of marriage or separate before they have a chance to see the real person in each other?
