Where the devil was his pillow? Garrett grumbled, laboring his way out of sleep. And what was the matter with this lousy mattress? Every bone and muscle in his body seemed to be begging him not to move. God, he felt awful! As though an armored tank had run over him in the night. And his mouth tasted as though a platoon had marched through it in combat boots.

Sensing bright sunlight pouring into the room from some unidentified source, he tentatively opened his eyes a fraction of an inch.

Where in the hell was he, anyway? Then the answer dawned on him: he was in the living room of Brenna Richards’ house. And it was her sofa he’d been sleeping on all night Obviously, it wasn’t intended to accommodate any man over five and a half feet in height. His legs dangled over the end by a good six inches.

What was the last thing he could remember? That’s right. He’d been sitting here on the sofa talking to Brenna. Apparently that double Scotch on top of a case of jet lag had been too much for him. Worse, he wasn’t sure if he’d simply gone to sleep or passed out In the end, it was all the same. He’d managed to make a damned fool of himself and to spend an uncomfortable night sleeping on a rock-hard sofa.

Stretching his arms above his head, Garrett slowly sat up on the edge of the cushions and ran a hand across the rough stubble of his beard. He needed a shower and a shave. And, he noted dispassionately, a change of clothes. His looked as though he’d slept in them.

It would probably scare the living daylights out of Brenna if she saw him now. He wasn’t exactly the image of the suave, sophisticated man-about-town this morning.

The house seemed to be quiet Maybe she was still asleep. He glanced down at his watch, trying to decipher the time with what he was sure were bloodshot eyes. Seven o’clock? No wonder it was quiet. Who got up at this hour on a Saturday morning if they didn’t have to?

What he could really use was a cup of good, strong black coffee. But since he had no intention of prowling around her kitchen uninvited, it would just have to wait Everything was so damned neat around here and so feminine. Brenna had mentioned something last night about redecorating the place. It looked to him as if a determined effort had been made to erase any evidence that a man had ever lived in the house.

He couldn’t help but wonder what her husband had been like. There didn’t seem to be any pictures of him sitting around, but she probably kept that kind of personal memento in her bedroom, anyway. He had to admit to a mounting curiosity about Daniel Richards. Brenna didn’t talk about him much, but that didn’t mean anything. Sometimes the deeper the hurt, the less you wanted to talk about it. He was pretty sure she’d loved her husband.
