Les Frères Berringer - La série

Prise dans un hold-up sitôt arrivée au Texas, Cory est soulagée quand un Texas Ranger, pur et dur, la place sous sa protection. Elle n’en a pas moins envie de garder son indépendance si chèrement acquise. Rester dans une ville de province pour y assumer la succession d’une parfumerie ou accepter un poste clé dans une grande agence de publicité californienne, tel sera le dilemme de l’ambitieuse Cory. Holt tentera tout pour la retenir mais, trop viril, trop macho, il n’a aucun atout pour la séduire. A moins que... * * * Description en VO : A romantic comedy featuring the first of three Berringer brothers (Texas Ranger Holt) and with just enough suspense to up the action. Sensual. Cory Bright planned to stay in Austin, Texas, just long enough to dispose of the perfumery she'd inherited before she headed to California and a big time ad agency job. With her hair in home perm rollers and a terrible craving for a Moon Pie, she made a quick dash to the store down the street. Who knew that so much could happen in five minutes? Only one Moon Pie was left in the box; she and a tall hunk in a white cowboy hat reached for it at the same time--and she didn't intend to let go...until a couple of robbers burst into the store and bullets started flying. And wouldn't you know that she was the only person who got a good look at the bad guy who escaped? And wouldn't you know that a reporter plastered her name and a gosh-awful photo on the front page of the paper for all the town--and the robber--to see? When the robber's menacing threats came, wouldn't you know that Texas Ranger Holt Berringer (the white-hatted hunk) was determined to appoint himself Cory's protector? Not that she minded too much. He was, after all, a real hottie. But she hadn't counted on the chemistry between them being potent enough to blow off the roof--and a big hole in her plans. * * * The Handsome Desperado ... Holt was bigger than life, with sin-black eyes, movie-star teeth and a white Stetson that proved this Texas Ranger was definitely one of the good guys! When Cory dashed into the store for a Moon Pie, she ran smack into the middle of a holdup ... and right into the arms of a long, tall lawman who didn't want to let her go! Holt adored the spitfire who refused to hide from threats on her life, but he was determined to cherish and protect her until she began to like it... and he was just the man to teach her how. Cory shivered at the promise of wildness beneath the calm, thrilled when the tall, brawny man with a silver star and a taste for chocolate-covered strawberries loved her tender and tough, but she feared Holt was too much like her macho brothers who'd always tried to run her life. Holt knew how to be patient, but once Cory proved to herself she couldn't make it on her own, would she be brave enough to choose what she truly wanted?
