Not Guilty: Part Four, The Dogs (by BettyHT)

Summary:  In the last of the series, the story is all about Adam, Hoss, and Joe.  There’s a hunting trip with their dogs, a hero who emerges after a case of mistaken identity, and then the plot for their sweet revenge.  Some of this material was originally in the previous story, but when I edited it out, I saved it to create this story.  You may notice how it overlaps part of what happened in that story.

A Monetary Affair (by BettyHT)

Summary:  Juliette will be off her game in this story due to her condition, and yet things will work out far better than she wants them to work out.  You’ll have to read it to understand that.  It’s a much more light-hearted story than the previous two, and only the weather is the villain, and well, lady luck plays a role too.
