    About this ebook

    Sady's attempt at a good deed takes a major detour. Her donation of household items to "Dream on a Dime" ends in disaster when she gives the security doorman at her apartment building the wrong key. So instead of taking the intended items from her apartment, the movers take everything they can load- from Matt's apartment. Including his TV and the valuable painting her uncle has given her. 

    So not only are Sady and Matt without furniture (and Matt's TV), Uncle John lets her know her painting is part of a set and he has the other two. Now the race is on to find the donated painting before he shows up. But when he fails to keep his appointment with Sady, she now has two missing Morrows to worry about.

      The Missing Morrow - Kamaryn Kelsey

      Author's note:

      This is Book 14 in the SS Beauty series and is not intended to standalone.

      This is a work of fiction. Other than Jana DeLeon's original story elements, the characters and names are creations of the author's imagination.

      The series is not about Fortune Redding, Sinful, and the Swamp Team. SS Beauty is Sandy-Sue Morrow and the series is about her and the life she makes for herself. She tires of her European vacation and comes home early, to Morrow's dismay. Wondering about her inheritance in Sinful, she takes a bus trip to check it out. Morrow sends Matt Meadows, who has done security work for him in the past, to keep an eye on her and to keep her from crossing paths with Fortune, and blowing Fortune's cover.

      At this point in her life, Sandy-Sue decides she's leaving the past behind, along with her name. She shortens it to Sady (sometimes she uses Sassafras or Sassy, the name she first gave Matt in book one of the series.) I took the liberty of giving Morrow a first name, John, since he makes appearances throughout the series and it didn't make sense for Sady to refer to him as Uncle Morrow.

      After the adventure in Louisiana, Morrow sends Sady to work for two former operatives, now retired and operating their own business, Knight Investigations in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Harry and CJ Knight are a husband and wife team.

      Amanda Keller, saucy and smart mouthed neighbor, soon becomes Sady's best friend. She likes to give Matt a hard time about anything and everything. After losing her job at the university, she joins the investigation company.

      Matt Meadows, Sady's love interest in the series, has stayed in Michigan. After Morrow repeatedly sends him back to Michigan to keep on eye on his niece, he realizes it will continue, so he makes the move as well.

      Character descriptions:

      Sady Morrow- Tall, slender, with long brown hair and big brown eyes. She often uses beauty pageant skills on the job. At this point in her life she is sweet, and sometimes goofy. However, she's intelligent and can been tough, when necessary.

      Matt Meadows- Tall, dark, and handsome. He has blue eyes and unshaven stubble. Hence, Amanda's nicknames for him, Stubbles or Blue Eyes. Frequently grumpy because of Amanda's constant picking. Matt sometimes uses Sady's pet name, Sassafras.

      Amanda Keller- Short, full-figured, black, and beautiful. She grew up in an exclusive suburb of Detroit. She has a smart mouth, a high tolerance for alcohol, and a full social dating calendar. She likes handsome men and isn't shy about saying so.

      CJ Knight- Short in stature, with clipped gray hair, green eyes, and an even shorter fuse. CJ is impatient and lethal with her hands. Even though she's small, she keeps them all in line.

      Harry Knight- Hot dang handsome with light blue eyes, a stunning white smile, and good build. Amanda calls him Handsome, and he is- even though he is bald. Harry looks out for his team and plays the big brother/ father to Sady.

      The stories behind the supporting characters are developed throughout the series.

      Chapter 1

      Psst! Sady poked Matt in the arm. Are you awake?

      He mumbled, and she rested her chin on his chest so they were face to face. Then he grinned without opening his eyes. What is it, Sassafras? he asked, putting an arm around her to pull her close.

      You don't think I sold myself cheap- just for a truck, do you? she asked, running a finger down his jaw.

      Hell, Sady. I now own the most valuable truck in the world, he responded, grabbing her hand as she trailed it down his neck. He lifted her hand and held it against his cheek with a smile. If I'd known the truck keys were also the keys to your heart, I'd have given you a key the day I bought it.

      You're a terrible liar, she teased. But a good flatterer.

      Is it working? He cracked his blue eyes and closed them again. Never mind. Just show me again how much you love my truck.

      The truck was just an excuse, Matt Meadows, she whispered.

      Now you tell me? he asked with a mock sigh. Does this mean I get the keys back? When Sady kissed him, he breathed, Forget the keys...

      ***

      I'm coming, Matt yelled down the hall as he pulled on a T-shirt over his jeans. Amanda, if that's you, I'm shoving you down the elevator shaft! He whipped open the front door and stepped back in surprise. John! What are you doing here?

      Who is it, Matt? Sady asked, hopping down the hall from his room, wearing one of his T-shirts over her pajama shorts. Uncle John! When did you get here? she asked, running to give him a hug.

      I was thinking of asking the same thing, he said as he hugged his niece and gave Matt a lethal stare.

      You can't kill him, Sady told her uncle, or you'll have to leave. She tugged him by the hand to the living room before pushing him onto the couch. Are you hungry? I can fix you something, she offered.

      I lost my appetite, John scowled.

      How did you get in the building? Matt asked, returning the look.

      The same way your mom got in. He's on my list of approved guests, Sady told Matt.

      Which works- if the security guard knows you're home, or should I say which home you're in, John told her as he studied Matt in a calculating manner. Then, sounding offended, he added, I had to have him call Amanda to get in!

      That explains the bad mood, Matt muttered, and Sady bit back a smile.

      I'm sorry, Uncle John, she apologized. This was kind of sudden. John's brows went up, and Sady gave him a grin. You know what I mean. Giving up my apartment.

      John rubbed his forehead and looked at his only niece. She was no longer the cute little girl with big brown eyes and long braided hair, or the leggy teen who blossomed into a beauty queen. Leaning over the chair behind Matt, with her arms around him, John realized she was a grown woman who no longer needed his protection. It was a bittersweet moment, but he knew the man who put that smile on her face would take good care of her. Because if he didn't...

      The sound of a key in the lock interrupted them, and Matt yelled, No one's home, Amanda. The door crashed open, and Amanda marched in. You do that one more time and I'll have you arrested, Matt threatened.

      Amanda gave a sniff of disdain. I'm not here to see you, Stubbles. Matt smirked, and John turned pale when Amanda parked herself next to him. I just want Uncle Sam to know none of this is my fault, she said, giving Matt a dirty look. He took advantage of me behind my back and moved her in before I could stop him, she told John. Even Sady smiled while Matt and John laughed out loud.

      Tell us another one, Amanda, Matt suggested. You're on a roll this morning.

      Amanda turned an evil eye on Matt, then patted John's knee comfortingly, leaving her hand there and giving his knee an occasional squeeze. John turned red and tried to move away. Don't worry, I'll keep him in line. If he breaks her heart, you won't need to send an assassin. I'll even take care of the body disposal, Amanda offered.

      Matt turned to Sady. Are you going to let her talk to me that way?

      She smiled and said, I can't stop her any more than I can stop you. Now shut up and let's see why my uncle made the trip all the way to Michigan.

      I brought something for you, Sady. John opened his briefcase and handed her a package. She unwrapped the brown paper and looked at the small oil painting.

      Thanks, Uncle John... uhm, it's nice isn't it, Matt? Sady handed the painting to him. He coughed and passed it to Amanda. She tipped it different ways and gave John a skeptical look from the corner of her eyes.

      What is it? she asked bluntly, not afraid to vocalize what Matt and Sady wondered as well.

      John grabbed the painting, flipped it around, and snapped, It's a Morrow!

      What's a Morrow? Amanda laughed.

      It's a valuable piece of art.

      Aw, Uncle Sam... is this something you did in grade school? Look Sady, I think he painted a boat, Amanda said, taking the painting and spinning it again. Or maybe it's a tree.

      A boat... a TREE? John yelled, outraged. Then he cleared his throat and apologized for the outburst. It's not a boat or a tree, and I didn't paint it. My father- Sady's grandfather- did.

      Really? Sady asked moving to sit on his other side. I never knew him, and Mom didn't talk about him very often. Was he an artist?

      John finally smiled and handed the picture to her again. He didn't consider himself an artist, but more of a dabbler.

      He had the first part right! I'd have said he was a scribbler, Amanda hissed to Matt. Hey, I'm allowed to be an art critic, she said defensively when Morrow glared at her.

      Charles Morrow didn't get recognition for his work until after his death, John continued with a frown that dared Amanda to interrupt again. She sat back with a smile and waved for him to continue.

      "A few of his
