Dixie Browning, née Burrus was born September 9, 1930 in North Carolina. Browning considers herself foremost an artist. She studied and later taught art. She paints landscapes and seascapes in watercolor, and is listed in Who's Who in American Art. In 1975, Browning began writing a newspaper show more column on art. Shortly thereafter, she decided to try fiction. As she had recently begun reading romance novels, she attempted to recreate the pieces of the genre that appealed to her. This tactic worked, as in 1976, Avalon published her first two romances. She has since published over 100 category romance novels. She has been awarded a Romance Writers of America RITA Award, and been a five-time RITA finalist. She has also won three Maggies, and numerous awards from the National Federation of Press Women and the NC Press Club. At the end of 2004, after Browning had submitted yet another manuscript, she realized that writing was not as exciting for her as it had been. She began painting again, and now concentrates primarily on her art. Browning cofounded and served as the first president of The Watercolor Society of North Carolina. She is also a co-owner of Browning Artworks in Frisco, North Carolina. Her works include Driven to Distraction, Her Passionate Plan B, Her Man Upstairs, and Beckett's Convenient Bride.

Lyle nunca tinha enfrentado um homem de verdade, até que encontrou Thad Creed. Mas ela era jovem demais, feiosa, e marcada por um sentimento de rejeição, já que seus pais nunca haviam feito mais que interná-la num bom colégio e visitá-la nas férias. Agora eles estavam mortos e Lyle, sozinha no mundo, presa das emoções embriagadoras e desconhecidas que Thad lhe despertava. Ah, como queria saber se maquilar, usar roupas charmosas e parecer sedutora a ele! Mas era um sonho show more impossível. Jamais teria qualquer chance com Thad, ainda mais que Cora, antiga namorada dele, andava por perto. Por que, então, ele a olhava às vezes de maneira tão estranha? Por que lhe show less
Tyrus lives at Anny's home while working at a deep sea study at the university. She knows something is wrong but cannot figure out what but figures if she waits long enough she'll learn his secret and be able to help him. What neither expects is to fall in love.
I loved Anny's craziness! She was so much fun as Tyrus struggled to keep up with her thought processes. I liked that Tyrus was trying to stay faithful to his girlfriend who basically had thrown him over and fight his attraction to show more Anny but it was a lost cause. The more he is around her the harder he falls. This was the perfect read for an autumn day when it is warm enough to sit outside and read. show less

Fate is being auctioned off as a bachelor and he has his secretary agree to be the highest bidder. Now they have to go through with weekend.
I enjoyed this. I laughed and smiled through the whole book. I love when both points-of-view are shown. It is fun to know what each is thinking about the other. It was also sweet as Fate tries to figure out how Sophie got under his skin. I also liked how Sophie learns she is not what her ex-husband told her. Fate and Sophie are made for each other.

Grace has sworn off men. Quinn thinks she is interested in him. They clash from the beginning to the end but love shows the way.
I enjoyed this book. I figured out the misunderstanding and enjoyed watching them figure it out. I liked how Grace showed her independence from her family. What a bunch they were! I also liked the strength that Grace had. To make the changes she did and to forge a place for herself. I liked Quinn and his protectiveness when he realized what led to their show more misunderstanding. Some of the secondary characters were interesting--Edward and Folly. Grace did protect herself emotionally but I understood her reasons and could commiserate with her.
