Nora Roberts weaves a contemporary romance around the Templeton family. This very successful hotelier family resides in Monterrey, Calif. It features siblings Laura and Josh, adopted cousin Kate, and the single housekeeper's daughter, Margo. Raised like one of the family, Margo seeks acceptance by her mother. She finds a huge success as a model, living the very high life. But when she falls, she falls far when her money is gone and she is left with a huge pile of bills. She is a strong woman yet she has a lot to learn. And back home, she begins to change. Kate, orphaned at a young age, finds a path to success as an accountant. She has always tried to be perfect. When her world also falls apart, she is unable to take action. She floats into the business started by Margo and Laura. And Laura has her trouble too. Her husband is a cad. And he turns to others and absconding with all her money and their children's college funds. Divorced, Laura struggles to pay the bills (she refuses to appeal to her parents). All three women have a lot to overcome and their roads to romance are rocky. It is so nice to see characters grow and develop and return. And to see the warm interaction between the characters.
