In 1893, Annie Schaeffer is no stranger to violence. Escaping her home in a traveling show,
where she had lived since being sold at six by her outlaw father.
Now 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 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.
When her closeness to Nate is used to force her deeper into the gang's web, her desire for
freedom clashes with her need for survival. Duke Needham, the gang's ruthless leader, sees
her as both an asset and a threat.
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.
