Une famille pour héritage, Dixie Browning

Laurel Ann épousera-t-elle un jour Jerry, son fiancé ? Cela fait des mois qu’elle attend qu’il lui fasse officiellement sa demande. Or, voilà que, loin de se déclarer, Jerry exige brusquement d’elle qu’elle s’éloigne quelque temps. Et quand, bouleversée, Laurel Ann lui demande des explications, il repousse sèchement le moment de les lui donner. Déçue, peinée, elle décide alors de saisir l’occasion de ces vacances forcées pour partir enfin visiter les terres qu’elle a reçues en héritage, dans le Sud. Hélas, sur place, la jeune femme doit affronter une nouvelle déconvenue : en fait de « terres », c’est de marécages inhabitables qu’elle a hérités ! Ne lui reste plus qu’à se mettre en quête d’un toit où séjourner. C’est ainsi qu’elle croise la route d’un certain Cody Morningstar, propriétaire d’une maison à louer et père d’une étonnante petite fille...

Autoren-Profil

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.
