Colonel Utah Blaine, held captive by the Army of the Revolution, broke out of jail and headed north from Mexico with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then he found new trouble struggling at the end of a noose???and stepped in just in time to save the life of a Texas rancher. The would-be executioners were the rancher???s own men, looking to steal his land.Have the wealthy Texan play dead, introduce himself as the spread???s new foreman, and take care of the outlaws one by one. The wage to fight another man???s war? A hundred a month plus expenses. The cost of falling in love while he earns that wage? It wasn???t exactly part of the original agreement, but Utah will soon find out???unless the bad guys get to him first.
