About the book

Dream Trilogy Daring to Dream introduces a trilogy about three completely different women who were raised together. Daring to Dream is Margo Sullivan's story. Raised in the mansion of the wealthy Templeton family who own a chain of international luxury hotels, Margo is the daughter of their housekeeper. At an early age, she establishes a life-long friendship with the Templeton's daughter, Laura, and with Kate Powell, a cousin adopted by the Templetons. These three young girls have an idyllic childhood at Templeton House on the California coast. Although treated as a child of the house and given every advantage, Margo is desperate to have some fame and fortune for herself. Blessed with a striking beauty, she leaves home at the age of eighteen to model and enjoy a rich, self-indulgent, sybaritic lifestyle. Ten years later Margo returns home publicly humiliated in a huge scandal, nearly bankrupt and without a job. Predictably, her old friends give her love and support in her decision to start her own business. Joshua Templeton, Laura's brother, is also there to assist and the attraction they have felt for each other for years soon develops into a heated passion. Daring to Dream is a trademark Nora
