"Funny, fast paced romantic mystery"

Sara and Ariel are cousins. They look enough alike to be twins. But they can't fool the men who love them. David and RJ love these two women and need to find away to make Sara and Ariel fall in love with them.

When Sara and Ariel come up with a scheme to trade places so Ariel can make a play for RJ. Sara goes along with it. It will give Sara a much needed rest from working with the very demanding RJ and also put her in close proximity with David. The only problem being that RJ is in love with Sara and David is in love with Ariel.

RJ is interested in a small island off the Carolina coast. It could be the perfect place for a resort. When the foursome take the only boat over to the island and are accused of hitting a much beloved dog and killing it, things rapidly become complicated and down right dangerous for the foursome.

We have hidden gold, a dead body and a landlady that is hot to trot with anything in pants. The phone cable has been cut to the main land and the boat won't be back until after the four go before the judge for killing the dog. Things just go from bad to worse. Romance wins and so does the island.
