A Land Called Deseret

A tale of romance, passion, and rebirth in the rugged deserts of Utah from a New York Times–bestselling author.
 
LaRaine came to Hollywood in search of a rich husband and an easy life. But just as she got the chance to star in a movie, her wealthy fiancé cut her loose, ending her gold-digging career before it started. A few flops later, LaRaine’s career is on its last legs, and she’s looking for a safe haven.
 
Instead, she’ll find Deseret. In the wild expanse of the Utah desert, she meets a hard-bitten rancher during a location scout. He moves her in ways she didn’t know were possible, and fills her with a love that will inspire her to remake herself as someone new.
 
America’s first lady of romance fiction, Janet Dailey’s masterwork was her Americana series—fifty novels of passion, with each set in a different state. A Land Called Deseret is an unforgettable trip to Utah.
 

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. The two worked together in construction and land development until they “retired” to travel throughout the United States, inspiring Dailey to write the Americana series of romances, setting a novel in every state of the Union. In 1974, Dailey was the first American author to write for Harlequin. Her first novel was No Quarter Asked. She went on to write approximately ninety novels, twenty-one of which 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 nineteen different languages, making her one of the most popular novelists in the world.
