Eva sighed and moved into Tony’s arms. “He really just wished her happiness, so I guess if she’s married, she found that. I’m not gonna worry about it.”
Zeke walked over to stand in front of Tony and Zach. “Just what are your intentions toward our little girl?”
Eva groaned. “Papa Zeke, don’t scare them off.”
Tony’s arm moved to drape over her shoulder while Zach’s snaked around her waist. For a moment, she saw her father’s lip twitch and his eyes soften.
“We love her, sir.” Tony looked over at Zach. “We wanna marry her and share our lives, maybe have a family.”
“You couldn’t do that in your time?” asked Beau.
“We could have,” Tony said. “But it was pretty clear that Eva would be happier back here with the rest of her family.”
Zeke stroked his chin. “You didn’t leave family behind?”
Zach shook his head. “No, sir. We were totally free to come back with Eva. We love her, and she loves us.”
Zeke turned to Eva. “That right, little girl?”
She smiled and brought their hands to her heart. “I finally got my wish, Papa Zeke.
“What wish was that, Eva?” asked Anna.
Eva grinned. “I got my prince charmings, Mama. Just like I always told you I would. Now, I can have my happily forever after.”
Tony laughed. “Zach and I got something better than that.”
Kat frowned. “What more could you get?”
Tony and Zach smiled down at Eva and spoke together. “We got forever Eva.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born, and raised in the great southern state of Tennessee. In my youth, I studied nursing, and spent several happy years working in the hospitals there until I branched out into medical management in 1980.
In 1998 I was managing a medical supply house in Chattanooga, when I met the love of my life. The only problem facing me then, he lived way out in Oklahoma. You see, we had met in a chat room!
He romanced me daily with love letters, flowers, and phone calls. It wasn’t long before I uprooted myself and moved west to join him. We married in 1999, and then continued our fantasy romance all over the world. Together we have traveled in almost all of the Continental United States, and taken trips to Canada and China.
I retired from working in 2002 and it wasn’t long before my husband was encouraging me to find some kind of outlet to occupy my time, something that was challenging, and rewarding. I was already obsessed with reading about romance, and I began to think I could probably write a good, romantic story. My husband heartily agreed with me. With that encouragement, I began writing my first book. I wasn’t really convinced that anyone else would find it interesting, but he pressed me to take a chance and send it in to a publisher. To my surprise, it was accepted, and now I’m able to share it with readers everywhere who like a “happily ever after” story.
Today, I’m living in California with my still romantic husband of twelve years, and our boys. Our boys consist of Beau, Midnight, and Bubba, three male cats that allow us to live with them and serve them at their leisure. I continue to write almost daily, hoping that someone somewhere will get the same enjoyment from reading my stories that I get from writing them.
