About this listen
The women in Clara’s family have always had a secret: They can read minds. Growing up as the last daughter of a wealthy family in the desert of Palm Springs, she has only one wish: to become a star.
At 16, she begins her journey into Hollywood and the privileged life of a movie actress, but this time, it is a privilege she will have to earn. Using her cunning, intelligence, and telepathic abilities, Clara Daniels makes the slow rise that will catapult her to fame and change her life forever.
But can the love of the public, of people she will never know, fill the void in her heart?

Years ago, the Rosetta family's hard-won dreams of staking their claim in the vineyards of California came to fruition. Now high-spirited, passionate Caterina Rosetta, who has inherited both her mother's talent for crafting the finest wines and also her indomitable will, wants nothing more than to win her mother's approval and work at her side. But that can never happen, because Caterina is keeping a secret that could ruin her: a daughter of her own, fathered by the love of her life, who left her without explanation.

Story
Ruthless might as well be Gray Bennett’s middle name. When the renowned Washington, D.C. insider talks, powerful people listen. But Gray hasn’t come home to Saranac Lake to play politics. Or play at all. A tragedy has shaken the unshakable Gray Bennett to his hardened core. And so has the most unlikely of women. The mousy redhead who used to run around the Moorehouse B and B - the one he never noticed - is now all fiery hair and lush curves. But sweet Joy Moorehouse is too innocent for a cynic like him.
