As the host of a radio program for the lovelorn in Chicago, Jessie Richmond is surprisingly lonely, especially with the holidays approaching. So she decides to make the trek to her uncle's bookstore in rural New York state and hold a speed dating event - only to find herself snowed in - with one very special single.

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. Being a sudden millionaire doesn't change that, with one exception: the fixer-upper she plans to buy, her first and only real home. It's more than enough to keep her busy, until an unsettlingly handsome, charming, and determined corporate recruiter shows up in her lab - and manages to work his way into her heart.

Winning the lottery is the biggest ticket to freedom Greer Hawthorne's ever had. Until her best friend's brother comes to town.

Sure, winning the lottery allows Zoe Ferris to quit her job as a cutthroat corporate attorney, but no amount of cash will clear her conscience about the way her firm treated the O'Leary family in a wrongful-death case. So she sets out to make things right, only to find gruff, grieving Aiden O'Leary doesn't need - or want - her apology. He does, however, need something else from her.

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.

"Greer, du kan ikke overkomme den slags. Greer, du ved, at din krop ikke kan klare så meget. Greer, du kaster dig altid over mere, end du kan gennemføre." Hele sit liv er Greer Hawthorne blevet pakket ind i vat. Så da en lottogevinst giver hende chancen for at følge sin drøm om at tage en uddannelse, er det lige så meget en chance for at overbevise sig selv og sin overbeskyttende familie om, at hun kan stå på egne ben.
