He nodded and put his cup down. "And now I know. So, are you going to marry me?"
She thought for a moment, then put her cup on the bedside table and folded her arms. "I think I should have the right to investigate you first."
Richard smiled and moved from his chair to the bed. "You can do that every day for the next seventy years," he said.
"In that case, I suppose I can marry you."
He laughed and pulled her to him. He kissed her thoroughly, thinking that his father's last case had led him to a life of promise and a love that could withstand anything the future had to bring.

I hope you've enjoyed spending time with April and Richard as they solved the mystery of retrieving the counterfeit plates and cash. I enjoyed visiting Roxanne St. Claire's world of Barefoot Bay and seeing the swaying palms and sandy beaches. The old guest house was a perfect setting for me as in a past life I was probably an architect or builder. My characters always drive the story and lead me to places I've never been with their adventures. Counterfeit Treasure was a new world with so much that was a wonder to discover. I enjoyed visiting with them, talking to them even at times when they wouldn't let me sleep.
I receive many letters from the women and men who read my books. Thank you for you generous comments and words of encouragement. I love reading your letters as much as I enjoy writing the books.
