Diane Kelly Synopses: Love, Luck, and Little Green Men is a standalone contemporary romance novel by Diane Kelly. Erin Flaherty is a single mother who is on a string of bad luck. Not only is she fighting romantic feelings for Father Brendan O’Donnell, St. Anthony’s brown-eyed and broad-shouldered priest, but she also faces a heartbreaking choice. After the vet diagnoses her son’s Irish Setter with a life-threatening illness, Erin must find a way to gather enough money for the surgery in order to potentially save him. Unfortunately, the income from her shoe repair business and Irish step-dancing lessons are barely enough to put food on the table. When an odd little man appears in her life, Erin’s entire belief system is challenged. Will the luck of the Irish and the power of love be on Erin’s side?
Five Gold Smuggling Rings by Diane Kelly is the fifth short story in the 12 Days of Christmas multi-author series. Based on an anonymous tip, rookie ICE agent Angelika Dietrich gets her first real case. Things quickly steam up when she’s paired with her secret crush, Javier Carrasco, a veteran agent who is both sexy and stoic. Javier won’t be an easy nut to crack, but if anyone can do it, it’s the bold, brassy and tall Angelika – an ass-kicking tornado of a woman. With a wicked sense of humor and a heart as big as her size-eleven stilettos, Angelika will have you cheering for her to capture the bad guys as well as Javier’s heart.
