April 2012. Vrouwenopvang Het Gooi komt onder vuur te liggen, wanneer twee klokkenluiders los van elkaar -ieder apart ingeschakeld door vrouwen die op dat moment in de vrouwenopvang in Hilversum verblijven-, melding doen van de mensonterende omstandigheden waarin vrouwen en kinderen die in de opvangvilla verblijven, moeten leven. Een week nadat de ernst van de situatie bij de gemeente Hilversum is doorgedrongen, wordt de leiding van de vrouwenopvang op non-actief gezet en vervangen door een crisisteam vanuit de Blijf Groep. Ruim twee maanden later blijkt uit een onderzoek naar het functioneren van deze vrouwenopvang, door een speciaal voor dat doel ingestelde commissie, dat er al sedert lange tijd ernstige klachten waren over het beleid in deze opvang en de omgang met cliënten. Het opvangcentrum dat ruim 30 jaar bestond, zorgde voor veel slachtoffers door de jaren heen, die tot op de dag van vandaag (april 2013) nog steeds niet `schadeloos ́ gesteld zijn.

In some ways her high school sweetheart, Brady Tucker, hadn't changed much either—he was still lean, athletic, rugged…But the once reckless boy had become a solid, dependable man.

She could still turn him inside out with one of her sultry looks. He couldn't believe she hadn't forgiven him for that night twelve years ago—but he'd had his reasons for not showing up. He'd let her leave town then—but he wasn't going to let her get away this time…
It was worse than winning the lottery–much worse. This bequest might mean more money, but the strings attached had Pandora McVie tied up in knots. Respecting Uncle Jolley's last wishes meant spending time isolated in the Catskills with Michael Donahue, her least favourite–though best looking–distant relative and co–beneficiary. Living with a carrot–topped termagant wasn't Michael's idea of a good time, either, but he realised they were stuck. Jolley was a matchmaker to the end–and apparently for some time beyond. What could happen in six months? Michael answered that one himself: almost anything.
