#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents four stories about the magic of blossoming love...

In Nora Roberts' "Winter Rose," a young queen heals a wounded soldier on a remote island cursed with eternal winter--and warms her heart with the joys of true love.

In Jill Gregory's "The Rose and the Sword," an exiled princess's last hope for recovering her lost kingdom lies with the embittered prince she is pledged to marry--a man as impossible as he is irresistible.

In Ruth Ryan Langan's "The Roses of Glenross," a lonely lass tends a haunted rose garden in an abbey in war-torn Scotland--while a heroic soldier basks in the pure glow of her love. 

In Marianne Willman's "The Fairest Rose," a bold Irish warrior falls for the one woman who has the power to save his life--and hold his heart.
