The Gun For Hire series follows 10 hired gunmen on the frontier who find unexpected reasons to stop living by the gun. Published in 2025, each book is named after its protagonist: Creek, Dustin, Kirk, Lance, Devon, Ash, Shad, Clint, Landon, and Luke.

Hired guns occupy a morally gray space in Western fiction, and Tanner uses that ambiguity to create compelling romantic tension. These are men whose profession makes them dangerous and unsuitable as husbands, which raises the stakes when they fall for women who make them want to change.
