While helping to put insulation on the whole house fan cover, Captain Caffein clocked me in the chin with the edge of the cover. He felt very bad. It was at this point that I told him how much I spent on Black Friday sales. :)

The Reluctant Witness by Kathleen Tailer LEFT FOR DEAD  When his partner turns on him and tries to kill him, FBI agent Jack Mitchell is framed for murder and abandoned…until a blue-eyed beauty saves his life.

The Mysterious Heir by Edith Layton My rating: 4 of 5 stars This looks like it was the author's second book, and the writing is very elegant.
