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...

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.
