Owning It

<b>The chance of a lifetime . . . or just another bad decision?</b><P>Delaney Lavender Brooks needs to grow up. At least according to her parents. After getting evicted from her apartment and wrecking her car Laney is almost ready to trade in her paintbrushes and surrender to a more sensible 9-to-5 existence. Almost. Until she's awarded an internship at a prestigious art gallery in Paris. What else can the free-spirited artist do but follow her dreams? Even if her latest attempt at chasing rainbows might cost her a real future . . . <P>Once in the city of lights Laney is almost undone by the glaring truth: maybe she isn't sophisticated or talented enough to make it as an artist-or an independent woman for that matter. And when she's hotly pursued by a seductive Frenchman she has to wonder if she's about to be a fool for love too. Soon Laney's greatest challenge is not proving herself to her parents but having the courage to live the life-and love-of her dreams . . . <P>Leah Marie Brown has a wily way of bringing her stories to life with sharp dialogue and drop-dead sexy characters. -Cindy Miles National Bestselling Author <P>When it comes to crafting clever intelligent wonderful escapist fiction with a heroine every woman wants to know Leah Marie Brown is a new voice to watch.
