| | | | "Being dead didn't make Jack Mercy less of a son of a bitch. One week of dead didn't offset sixty-eight years of living mean. Plenty of the people gathered by his grave would be happy to say so..." (from the first line) When Jack Mercy died, he bequeaths a ranch worth nearly $20 million to his three daughters, each born of a different marriage. The women are shocked to learn that before they can inherit, they must live together on the ranch for one year, putting their bitterness aside and living like a family.
Annotation:
The three daughters of colorful, difficult, filthy rich Jack Mercy gather to hear the reading of their father's will--and find that before any of them can take possession of Mercy Ranch they must live there together for a year.

"Roberts has always been a winner..." |
| Author Bio| Nora Roberts | | Nora Roberts didn't become an immediate best-selling author, but once she sold her first novel, she never looked back. A mother of two small children at the time, Roberts began writing in 1979 with a number-two pencil and a spiral notebook. She wrote sporadically while her two sons were at school, a schedule she maintained long after they had grown up and gone to college. Two years and several manuscripts after her initial attempt, her first novel, "Irish Thoroughbred", appeared, the first of over 100 novels she would write in the following two decades. While having dabbled in many of the genre's forms, Roberts has found most of her success writing contemporary romances flavored with both suspense and adventure. The youngest of five children, Roberts grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1968, she married Ronald Aufdem-Brinke, the father of her two children, but divorced him in 1985, the same year she married her second husband, Bruce Wilder. |
