A blank page looks completely different depending on where you are in life when that page appears in front of you. For Jillian Francis, who prefers to quietly and privately mourn the loss of the father of her unborn child, her blank page becomes filled with “Everything Baby” and “Everything Christmas”. Believing herself to be in one of those spaces between life, when life isn't really happening, she soon discovers that there is no such space, that life is always happening. Through the help of her would have been in-laws, her childhood friend, an intrusive neighbor, and her own tendency toward wit and sarcasm, Jillian finds her way back to a life she never expected to live, and never expected to love.

Defining moments in life can be claimed as the catalyst for success or blamed as the catalyst for failure. For Maggie Conners, the defining moment comes when the youngest of her five sons begins kindergarten and she can finally begin the life she meant to have. Maggie's quest for life beyond the demands of her rambunctious sons and unsupportive husband lead her to stumble upon the one person that knows the secret her husband has kept from her for fifteen years. Old history becomes current causing life to spiral out of control and Maggie to lean on her childhood best friend who offers support through friendship and comfort through humor and wit. Having always lived the small Adirondack town life Maggie hadn't anticipated that getting out of normal would take her further from the life she meant to have and closer to a defining moment she couldn't have foreseen.

When Canadian Morgan Winfeld gets assigned to work with Ireland's Jake Rory, they spend a few days in Nova Scotia getting to know each other and putting the boots to an assassin. It's not long before they head to Alberta to dig around the embers of a fire that destroyed much more than people's property, and to be involved in a fight for their lives. Being a covert operative is demanding, dangerous work, and Morgan doesn't know how to exist without it. On a trip to Wales, Morgan gets some unexpected assistance from a cousin who helps her to better use her keen intuition. The techniques help but cannot stop things from taking a horrible turn during a mission in Sommerside, England. Morgan is in her forties, and she could easily be a retired spy who writes stories about her wild past and drinks Scotch, except she likes the work and there's always another job to do. Despite experiencing big losses and the difficulties in being a spy in this time of technology and restricted border crossings, Morgan just can't quit. Can she?
