Hold the Dream (Harte Family Saga Book 2)

The continuation of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s bestselling sensation A Woman of Substance, Hold the Dream continues the saga of Emma Harte, a sweeping tale of heartbreak and triumph.

As the founder and head of the business empire Harte Enterprises, Emma Harte is a woman of purpose. She has sacrificed everything to make sure her granddaughter, Paula McGill Farley, inherits her wealth and her corporation.

But Paula has already inherited Emma’s unbreakable will, and she has dreams of her own. In taking on her grandmother’s mantle of power, Paula must face professional and personal challenges Emma could never have predicted–or protected her from. Beset by greed, jealousy, lies, and betrayal from those closest to her, Paula must ensure the security of her future–and shelter the true love she’s held secret for years.
