Caroline Compton discovers that her husband Bill is up to his old tricks when his most recent girlfriend, Sookie Stackhouse, calls his cell phone on their 25th wedding anniversary. Caroline could file for divorce and take Bill for everything but what she really wants is to never deal with him again, only she can't do it alone. Sookie's lived a hard life and with some changes coming up in her life, Caroline makes her an offer she can't refuse.

Unable to cope with a horrific childhood, Sookie turned to alcohol. In doing so, it cost her her relationship with Eric. She's gotten help, thanks in large part, to an ultimatum from her ex. Now she's working on making amends, but not sure how to go about when "I'm sorry" doesn't seem good enough. Sookie knows that her chances of being forgiven are slim. She's not sure she could do it if the shoe was on the other foot. Eric's no saint either. He's had his own demons to face down, and bad behavior to rectify. While he's never had to kick an addiction, correcting toxic habits and changing learned behavior can be just as tough to do. Maybe, just maybe, this is a case where true love can win in the end. "Some people quit drinking too much And some people quit lying Some people decide to grow up But it's never good timing Most wouldn't forgive what I put you through But I'm here tonight, hoping some people do." - Old Dominion

Three years ago Sookie Stackhouse's fraternal twin sister Hadley went missing in New York City. Since there were no signs of foul play at the time she disappeared, there wasn't much for police to go on. Unwilling to let her twin's case go cold, Sookie moved to New York and into her twin's apartment, hoping to pick up Hadley's trail. Sadly, any leads Sookie has gotten in that time haven't lead her to her sister. Then one day at her grandmother's eye doctor appointment Sookie meets an attractive man who is immediately equally smitten with her. Eric Northman doesn't waste time giving Sookie his phone number. With an instant connection, it doesn't take long for feelings to grow between the two of them. But in meeting Eric, odd things begin to happen where Hadley is concerned. While her sister is still missing, Sookie can't escape the feeling that her sister is trying to tell her something, but what? And does it have to do with the man that Sookie is rapidly falling in love with?
