About this ebook

Iced-in at the airport, cradling the kicking, squealing infant daughter he'd only just discovered, Jackson Powers was fresh out of patience. And now he'd hooked up with fellow strandee Hetty Reynolds, a woman who didn't fit into any of his neat pigeonholes. A woman who spoke softly and sang husky off-key lullabies to a stranger's crying baby...with eyes the color of rainwater and a body created for love. He needed a survival guide to family—and personal relationships—fast! Because once this storm was over, Jackson had to show both these ladies that he was a forever kind of man...

About the author

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 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.
