Every novel in this collection is your passport to a romantic tour of
the United States through time-honored favorites by America's First Lady
of romance fiction. Each of the fifty novels is set in a different
state, researched by Janet and her husband, Bill. For the Daileys it was
an odyssey of discovery. For you, it's the journey of a lifetime. Your
tour of desire begins with this story set in South Dakota. Now she could
make her dreams come true. Edie Gibbs stared at the check in her hand.
She'd never imagined that the inventions Joe worked on during their
eighteen years of marriage would provide a windfall after his death.
Actually, she had only one dream: to own a ranch in the Black Hills of
South Dakota. And now, she could. But it wasn't quite that simple. Her
new ranch was a run-down wreck, and her neighbor, arrogant local rancher
Will Maddock, made every encounter a battle. Some dream, Edie told
herself. Janet Dailey, who passed away in 2013, was born Janet Haradon
in 1944 in Storm Lake, Iowa. She attended secretarial school in Omaha,
Nebraska before meeting her husband, Bill. Bill and Janet worked
together in construction and land development until they "retired" to
travel throughout the United States, inspiring Janet to write the
Americana series of romances, setting a novel in every state of the
Union. In 1974, Janet Dailey was the first American author to write for
Harlequin. Her first novel was "No Quarter Asked". She has went on to
write approximately 90 novels, 21 of which have appeared on the New York
Times bestseller list. She won many awards and accolades for her work,
appearing widely on radio and television. Today, there are over
three-hundred million Janet Dailey books in print in 19 different
languages, making her one of the most popular novelists in the world.
