The Donovan Legacy is an early Nora Roberts paranormal romance series about a family with inherited magical abilities. Each Donovan has a distinct gift, from precognition to the ability to locate lost people and objects. The romances pair the magical Donovans with practical, skeptical partners who have to rethink what they believe.

Captivated, Entranced, and Charmed were originally published as Silhouette romances in 1992 and 1999. They are shorter and lighter than Roberts’ later paranormal trilogies, but they established many of the themes she would return to, including family legacy, Irish-tinged magic, and the tension between the ordinary and the supernatural.
