About this ebook
Collin Banks has made treasure hunting his profession...and he's good at it! His latest project brings him to Oasis, Arizona where he's attempting to solve the hundred year old mystery of a gold heist from the Manfred Schneider Gold Mine. Locating the gold would put another notch in his already extensive resume. However, while flying his Cessna Skyhawk over the small town and surrounding desert, something goes horribly wrong and his plane crashes!
Dottie Arnez enjoys walking the wilderness road outside her ancestral home in Oasis. Over the past few months, however, she's begun to wonder if she's going through a mid-life crisis. Operating Dottie's Dime Store in the small town isn't as satisfying as it once was. She's decided her life is very...boring! Little does she realize that during one of her evening walks an unforeseen event will forever change her daily routine. At great peril to her own life, she rescues a man from his downed plane. Pursued by media, both she and Collin Banks escape to Florida where she finds herself diving for sunken treasure!
Perhaps Collin and Dottie, while searching for treasure in the earth, will also discover the treasure within their hearts.

About the author
I adored writing this story about a woman named Dottie Arnez who finds herself at a crossroads. Being a widow whose only child is away at college, she has plenty of time to reassess her life. And when she does, she's not impressed. For a few weeks I contemplated how to bring a high profile, dynamic and energetic man into her life, and then it hit me--he had to be a treasure hunter! And the best way to introduce him to Dottie was with a BANG! Thus, a plane crash in the desert. I also used the crash to reveal Dottie's heroic nature.
As for Collin Banks, he's lived a fast life and suffered through a failed marriage, and although the idea of falling for a "domestic" woman scares the daylights out of him, he soon discovers that Dottie is a treasure worth any cost.
