Daniel Chan is a Texas cop. He is used to being jeered for being an Oriental cowboy. He is also gay. He has straddled the fence between being straight and gay by getting married. When he found his new bride was more interested in money than love that went south fast. Now he has decided women are good for a cover, but men are his preference. Now he is in Riceland and close to retirement. And he meets the sexy Mark Montgomery. Mark has a past that just wont leave him alone. He doesn’t see women as bed partners at all. And he is hiding from a man that is trying to kill him. When he meets Dan he finds he wants to stop running and find happiness in Riceland. But first Dan has to get him to trust him long enough to tell him the truth bout his past, so the man that is trying to kill him doesn’t succeed. Can they both learn to love and trust each other before it is too late?

Lynn Lorenz has a tale of learning to love yourself just as you are in No Good Deed. Dan has been running from who he really is for a very long time. So long he doesn’t realize he is still running till he meets Mark. Mark might be running from a physical danger, but he knows who he is deep down in the core. Together both Mark and Dan have what the other needs and together they are unstoppable. I did find this story to lag in some places, lots of back story, while relevant, was a bit tedious to read. Once I waded through that though, I found myself cheering for Dan and Mark and wanting much more of them. When you want a romantic mystery done MM style you want No Good Deed.
