Annie Schaeffer is no stranger to violence. Born of an outlaw father, she was sold to a traveling show at the age of six, now finally escaping as an adult.

On the run and wounded, she finds an unlikely ally In Nathan Healey - a member of the Needham Boys gang.

As she earns her place among the outlaws, Annie’s survival hinges on her lethal skills and growing bond with Nathan.

Nate's moral compass shifts with his circumstances, especially when those he loves are involved. Upon meeting Annie, he finds himself drawn to a woman determined to live differently to the expectations others place upon her; to live freely and fairly. The way he has always wanted.

Annie's quest for independence takes a dark turn as the gang begins to collapse. Betrayal runs deep, and the cost of trust is high.

No Good Deeds is a gripping tale of resilience and retribution in the untamed West, where loyalty is fleeting and justice is won at the barrel of a gun. Annie Schaeffer's story is one of fierce determination, as she battles her past and the outlaws who seek to control her fate.

Excerpt 

Copyright 2024, Diana A. Hicks

“I know what you are.” 

Something hot rushed through me. He didn’t say who. “You first.” I braced my hands on my hips. “What did this town do to you? Maybe there’s a way we can help each other.” 

He clenched his jaw. The effort made him look dangerous. Not at all like the Henry I remembered.

“I don’t know what brought you here. What I do know is that everything that comes out of that pretty mouth of yours is either a lie or a half truth.”  His dark gaze darted from the condemned hotel, to the broken street, and me. “I see you. You’re full of tells, and you’re a horrible liar, but somehow people buy your act. My guys certainly did.” 

My heartbeat picked up the pace at his words. “What am I, Henry?” I stepped closer. 

“A thief.” 

There it was again, a rush, a bubble in my chest. “I prefer con artist.” I rested my hand on his neck, and he let me. 

His pulse throbbed fast and hard against my fingers. He was affected by my touch, even when his face remained blank. 

“Same difference.” He met my gaze. “The question is: what are you here to steal?” 

“Enough about me.” I jiggled his car keys in front of him.

“What?” He patted his pocket before he snatched the key fob from me. 

“Now that we’ve established I have certain skills you could use, tell me about you. What do you want with this place?” 

“We haven’t established anything.” He put his keys back in his front pocket. “I’m just an architect who happens to be good at poker.” 

I nodded. That explained a lot—why he could read me like some sort of FBI agent. Whatever he was, I didn’t care. I was done here. “Fine. Five hundred Gs and the place is all yours.” 

Lisa would have to listen to me. We never should’ve strayed from our original plan of winning her appeal and getting her out of jail. The money from my last con was supposed to pay for that. Instead, Lisa had struck a deal with that old-dude lawyer to purchase this place. 

“Right. Except that’s not how much you paid for your half of the hotel.” He shook his head, a half smile pulling on his lip. 

I crossed my arms. How did he know that? “How can you tell?” 

“You scratch your nose when you lie.” He tapped my nose.

“No, I don’t.” 

“Do too.” 

What the hell? Did I scratch my nose? “Four hundred.” 

“Is it really that hard to tell the truth?” He grinned, cocking his head. 

“I didn’t touch my nose.” I was sure I hadn’t that time. 

“Your hand twitched…because you wanted to touch your nose.” His chuckle sent an electric current through my body. 

“Two hundred fifty.” I took a deep calming breath. 

“Was that so hard?” He smiled, and a little wrinkle appeared around his right eye.

“You have no idea.” I grabbed my purse and took out my phone. “When can I get my money?” 

He glanced at the hotel, biting the inside of his lip. “About that.” 

“You don’t have the money, do you?” 

“Not with me, no. I need a few days.”

The Lemon Gunman

Essentially Sweet Romance 

Book 3

Wanted for assassination.

I’m the top female sharp-shooter in the US, so it makes sense, I guess. Only I didn’t do it.

Running is my only option in order to figure who framed me, and exactly what happened in that Cincinnati hotel room. But I’m trapped here in the city, incapable of producing an alibi, when all I want is the wide-open fields of Montana. Oh, and Harper Wasden, the Navy Seal who stole my heart the second I laid eyes on him. But he’s off fighting a war somewhere, I’m alone, with only an abandoned Pitbull to keep me from going crazy. When help arrives out of nowhere, saving my neck from the FBI’s clutches, dare I trust it? Not when every heart beat pounds out the name Harper Wasden.

The problem is, it looks like I did it. Even. To. Me.

The Spearmint Spy

Essentially Sweet Romance

  Book 4 

 

A dark anniversary looms over the most luxurious cruise ship on earth.

Escaping myself in order to survive the date that almost killed me last year is imperative. Daddy's ship is the perfect place to do it, with no reminders of the past or familiar faces. But finding a body in my car just before boarding is no help at all. Especially since she’s dressed just like me, designer nails and all.

To make things worse, an infuriatingly handsome passenger is determined to ruin the entire trip, and besting him might be the only enjoyment I get. Except all my usual tricks fall flat, and he seems impervious to my seething rebukes.

Finding a gun hidden in my room is the last straw; espionage surrounds me and I haven’t got a clue how to survive it, or the anniversary I’ve never been less prepared for. I’ll need all the brute force my protection dog can dish out, and, I hate to say it, the help of the one man I can’t intimidate.

The Myrrh Boss

Essentially Sweet Romance 

Book 5 

Have you ever been deceived, hoodwinked, snookered?

Well, I have, by a man I once a looked up to and, it chokes me to say it, dated. Turns out he runs the mob in Buffalo, NY, and I was 100% wrong about him. One thing I’m not wrong about is that spurning him equals life over for me. He has eyes everywhere, and the police force is wrapped around his little finger too, which is why I’m also running from fake drug charges.

But when I discover his under-ground dog fighting ring, something deep down and red-headed flares up. One of us is going down, and it won’t be me, I’ve got dogs to save.

A street-wise kid named Cooney hatches the craziest plan. He says the mob’s second in command, Billa, will help me, but isn’t that jumping from the pan into the fire? And a fire he is too. How can I keep from repeating my mistake when Billa is stealing my heart piece by piece? Can a girl from the suburbs take down a mafia boss?

In this sweet but sizzling mafia romance, you’ll laugh out loud all the way to the feel good ending!

Will it be a Christmas to remember, or will their holiday get plowed away?

A Buckeye Falls Christmas

A Buckeye Falls Novel

by Libby Kay

Genre

 Contemporary Holiday Romance 

On the first day of Christmas, Buckeye Falls gave to me…

A snow storm…

Uninvited dinner guests…

A Christmas pageant…

And a friends’ reunion dinner to warm your heart.

It’s been ten years since five couples found love in this charming small Ohio town. Families and careers have grown, but the love remains the same.

Max is hosting Christmas at the diner, a final sendoff before the beloved hangout gets a facelift. But the risk of a snow storm and a few uninvited guests threaten everyone’s plans. Will it be a Christmas to remember, or will their holiday get plowed away?

Ginny kissed Max’s cheek, tasting his tears on her lips. “Max, honey. This rarely happens. C’mon, Henry’s going to be the lead in the Christmas pageant. He’s a tough kid, just like his father.” She punctuated her statement with another kiss.

Max coughed and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. “Oh yeah, I’m a real macho man.” 

“Yeah, because you know they’re my type.” Ginny theatrically rolled her eyes. 

“I shudder to think of what your type is,” Max said, gesturing at his current state. His eyes were red, he was covered in dirt and dog kibble, and he probably could stand another few hours of sleep. 

Ginny leaned back, tapping her chin. “Well, let’s see. I like a man who can take care of me and my children. Someone who can cook, like really well. And it would be nice if he was a small business owner and took care of my father like his own. Oh, and if he’s also best friends with my best friends, that would be perfect.” Ginny huffed and pulled herself to her feet. “Looks like that’s a pretty tall order.” 

Max snatched Ginny’s hand and pulled her onto his lap. “Okay, Mrs. Sanchez. Point made.” He kissed his wife, relishing in the fact they were still together after all these years. Life wasn’t always perfect, but it was from where he sat. “I need to get to the diner and start working on the menu for Christmas.” 

Ginny kissed him one more time before pulling back. “And I’m needed in the office.” 

“Love you, Gin.” 

“Love you more.”
