About this ebook
Secret heiress Liza Chandler didn't want the money—or the rugged millionaire who'd suddenly come into her life.
After fleeing a humiliating investment scandal in Dallas, she had sought refuge in rural North Carolina, selling sweet onions at her great-uncle's roadside stand. Certainly not after she had traded high society for country calm was she willing to let another smooth-talking stranger disrupt her hard-won peace.
But Beckett had made a vow to get the job done…and he wasn't the type to take no for an answer. Especially not when he discovered that beneath Liza's plain-Jane exterior hid a passionate woman just waiting to be protected.
Armed with an old family debt, the maritime investigator refused to leave Currituck County empty-handed. Even less with a howling coastal storm trapping them together under a leaking roof could either of them ignore the heat sparking between them.
But would Liza trust Beckett enough to take his money…and let him into her heart?

- Forced Proximity: Trapped together when Hurricane Greta pummels the coast, Beckett patches roof leaks and tends Liza’s scraped knees with unexpected tenderness.
- Small Town Setting: Liza finds refuge at Grant’s Produce and Free Ice Water in Currituck County, where her eighty-six-year-old great-uncle Fred holds court from a front-porch rocking chair.
- Slow Burn: From a frosty standoff over an envelope of cash to late-night confessions over a jar of peanut butter, their cautious friction gives way to deep passion.
- Also by This Author: A Bride for Jackson Powers, A KNIGHT IN RUSTY ARMOR and ALEX AND THE ANGEL.

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.
