She has another skill too: reading signs that other people miss. Knowing the upcoming marriage of Reid Sutherland and his fiancee was doomed to fail is one thing, but weaving a secret word of warning into their wedding program is another.

Kit Averin is anything but a gambler. A scientist with a quiet, steady job at a university, Kit's focus has always been maintaining the acceptable status quo.

Sixteen years ago, a teenaged Will Sterling saw - or rather, heard - the girl of his dreams.

Now an unexpected inheritance has brought Will back to that same address, where he plans to offload his new property and get back to his regular life as an overworked doctor. Instead, he encounters a woman, two balconies above, who's uncannily familiar.

When an unexpected upheaval sends her away from her hectic job in L.A. and back to her hometown, Georgie must confront an uncomfortable truth: her own wants and needs have always been a disconcertingly blank page.

Meg er grafiker i New York, og hun har den unikke, og knap så gode, vane at gemme kodede beskeder i sit arbejde. Hun får til opgave at designe Reid og hans forlovedes bryllupsprogram, men efter at have set de to sammen, er hun ikke i tvivl om, at ægteskabet vil kuldsejle. Meg kan derfor ikke dy sig og væver en skjult advarsel ind i bryllupsprogrammet – overbevist om, at ingen nogensinde vil opdage det.

Meg ist auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere. Ihre Handlettering-Künste sind in aller Munde. Doch sie hat ein Geheimnis: Gelegentlich versteckt sie in ihren Werken eine Botschaft. Wie vor einem Jahr bei der Gestaltung des Hochzeitsprogramms für den attraktiven, leicht nerdigen Reid und seine Verlobte. Ihr war sofort klar, dass diese Frau nicht die richtige für ihn ist.

Hele sit liv er Greer Hawthorne blevet pakket ind i vat.

Da Zoe Ferris vinder i lotteriet, siger hun op. Hun er led og ked af jobbet som skruppelløs virksomhedsadvokat, og tynget af dårlig samvittighed beslutter hun sig for at råde bod, så godt hun kan. Zoe er især ked af den måde, hendes firma behandlede O’Leary-familien på, da en af familiens sønner døde, men hun finder hurtigt ud af, at den reserverede Aiden O’Leary hverken har brug for - eller ønsker – hendes undskyldning. Der er til gengæld noget helt andet, hun kan hjælpe ham med.

Til daglig er hun naturvidenskabelig akademiker med et stabilt job på det lokale universitet - og stabilitet er et af Kits hovedmål i livet efter en omflakkende barndom. Det har hendes nye millionærstatus ikke ændret på, på nær en enkelt ting: hun er i stand til at købe sit første rigtige hjem, der dog kræver en kærlig hånd.

Derfor får han lidt af en overraskelse, da han 16 år senere arver en lejlighed og opdager, at Nora også bor i ejendommen. Hverken Nora eller de andre beboere er begejstrede for Wills planer om at modernisere og udleje den nedslidte lejlighed.
