Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Things Aren??t Always How They Appear! Guy Jones is about to burst his buttons. He just won the biggest case of his career and is being hailed by his law partners. But his wife, Ellen, is consumed with her quirky, needy friends and misses his victory dinner. Little does she know that Kinsey Abbott, Guy??s pretty legal secretary, is more than happy to keep him company. Communication between the Joneses rapidly deteriorates when Ellen??s stubborn loyalty to an Iranian couple lands her in the FBI??s spotlight??and Guy??s bad graces. Guy soon discovers Kinsey??s dark side, which inevitably pulls him into a web of danger and deceit. He decides not to tell Ellen. But it??s going to cost him. Who is my neighbor? Guy Jones is about to burst his buttons. He just won the biggest case of his career and is being hailed by his law partners. But his wife, Ellen, is so consumed with her quirky, needy friends that she misses his victory dinner??and bright, beautiful legal secretary Kinsey Abbott is only too glad to keep him company. When a fishing boat full of explosives is seized near Seaport, Ellen??s stubborn loyalty to her Iranian friends lands her in the FBI??s spotlight??and Guy??s bad graces. But when Guy encounters Kinsey??s dark side, a lot more than the Joneses?? marriage is threatened! Amid danger, deceit, and violence, Guy and Ellen clash over a key issue: Who is worth befriending??and who deserves loyalty under fire? ??As if pulled from today??s headlines, this novel touches on the fear that overtakes a town when rumors of terrorists are afoot.
