One of her novels is sold every three minutes in the United States, and she is, by far, the fastest growing author of women's fiction in the world. Roberts is the very first author inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame, and the first to receive their Centennial Award after she published her 100th novel, Montana Sky. Roberts has also been featured in People Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, and The New York Times. She has also made several television appearances from Entertainment Tonight and Good Morning America to CNN. This magnificent audio collection contains 4 novels by Nora Roberts. The first three belong to her highly acclaimed Dream trilogy: Daring to Dream, Holding the Dream, and Finding the Dream. As an additional bonus, we have added another favorite Nora Roberts novel, the much celebrated and cleverly written, Homeport. Discover the romance, mystery, and talent that truly makes Nora Roberts a national and worldwide sensation! Daring to Dream Margo Sullivan had everything a young woman could ask for. But while growing up along the rocky cliffs of Monterey, she couldn't help but dream of bigger things. The daughter of the Templeton's stern Irish housekeeper, Margo had been treated like a member of the family. Deep down, she knew that money could not buy the one thing she craved most-her mother's acceptance. Maybe things would be different if she could be sweet like Laura-or had Kate's shrew head for business. But all Margo knew how to do was be Margo, and that meant doing things her own way-no matter what the consequences... Holding the Dream Her childhood had been a lie. Her father had been a thief. Her mind struggled to absorb these facts, to analyze, to accept. Kate Powell had been orphaned at an early age, when she, essentially, watched her parents die. Her family had been taken away, but she had been given another. The distant kinship didn't matter to Thomas and Susan Templeton. They had taken her in, raised her as their own, given her a home and love. And now, twenty years later, she has learned the truth from a colleague of her father, a man who did not realize that the Templetons had gone to great lengths to protect the child from knowledge that would hurt and shame her. Finding the Dream Laura Templeton found out the hard way that nothing in life is guaranteed. The daughter of a wealthy hotelier, she had always known comfort, privilege, and security. But by the age of thirty, her storybook marriage had been destroyed by her husband's infidelity. Laura's divorce left her both emotionally and financially devastated-but determined to rebuild her life without the help of the Templeton fortune... Homeport The assailant attacked Dr. Miranda Jones outside her home as she returned from a busy lecture tour. Shaken by the assault, Miranda welcomed the distraction offered by a summons to Italy to verify the authenticity of a Renaissance bronze known as "The Dark Lady." However, her professional judgement is nearly destroyed when the bronze is declared a hoax. Desperate to restore her credibility and prove "The Dark Lady" is really a previously unknown work of Michelangelo, Miranda turns to Ryan Boldari, a seductive-and supposedly reformed-art thief. Forced to rely on herself and a partner with his own hidden agenda, Miranda finds that the only way home is filled with treachery, deception, and a danger that threatens everything she loves..
