"Ever since the death of her parents, Kate Powell has felt the need to prove herself to the aunt and uncle who raised her. But Kate's world tilts on its axis when a former family friend reveals that Kate's father had been accused of embezzlement at the time of his death. Kate is horrified to discover that her aunt and uncle paid her father's debts. Not knowing how to discuss her findings, she internalises her pain. And when she herself is wrongly accused of fraud, the usually strong Kate withdraws and refuses to fight the charges... Hotel expert Byron De Witt... realises that Kate's problems are making her ill. Though Kate is nothing like the women Byron usually finds attractive, something about her gets to him and he's determined to help Kate to open up, rediscover herself and fight to clear her name."--Publisher description.
"Margo, Kate and Laura were brought up like sisters amidst the peerless grandeur of Templeton House. But it was Kate who soon discovered that her past was haunted by the darkest of secrets... Surrounded by the sweeping cliffs and beauty of Big Sur, Kate Powell treasured her life at Templeton House... and the family who raised her like one of their own. Although Kate lacked Margo's beauty and Laura's elegance, she knew she had something they would never possess - a shrewd head for business. Driven by ambition, Kate measured her life's success with each soaring promotion. But now faced with professional impropriety, Kate is forced to look deep within herself - only to find something missing in her life... and in her heart."
"Die grosse Templeton-Trilogie Kate Powell erwacht eines Tages aus der trügerischen Unbeschwertheit ihres Lebens und entdeckt, dass ihre Vergangenheit ein dunkles Geheimnis birgt. Dieses Wissen verändert ihre Einstellung zu den geliebten Menschen in ihrer Umgebung und stachelt ihren Ehrgeiz an: Sie will beweisen, dass sie etwas Besonderes ist und setzt ab sofort all ihr Streben, all ihre Träume, all ihr Können in die beruflichen Erfolge - bis die Liebe einen dramatischen Tribut fordert ... Durch einen Blizzard entdeckte Nora Roberts ihre Leidenschaft fürs Schreiben: Tagelang fesselte sie 1979 ein eisiger Schneesturm in ihrer Heimat Maryland ans Haus. Um sich zu beschäftigen, schrieb sie ihren ersten Roman. Zum Glück - denn inzwischen zählt sie zu den meistgelesenen Autorinnen der Welt. Nora Roberts hat zwei erwachsene Söhne und lebt mit ihrem Ehemann in Maryland. Unter dem Namen J.D. Robb veröffentlicht Nora Roberts seit Jahren ebenso erfolgreich Kriminalromane."
