|summary=Owen was a widower with two young children and Evie was recently divorced with three children of about the same age. Friends introduced them - in the way of doing a little matchmaking - but although they liked each other and the kids all got on well there was no spark between them. They both needed help though and they made a business arrangement. Until the children were old enough to leave home they would share a house and the parenting of the children but they would not be involved in a sexual relationship. Friends and acquaintances found this difficult to accept and Evie grew tired of explaining that the setup was ''Not What It Seems''. When we meet Owen and Evie the last child has just left home and as the arrangement has come to an end they're both moving into their own houses.

|title=Best Laid Plans
|rating=3
|genre=Women's Fiction
|summary=The Fletcher family have a removal business but it's been hit - as have so many other businesses - by the recession. Frank Fletcher has been lucky in having the support of his wife Christine, who has money of her own which she's been willing to inject into the business, but he counts himself less lucky in his son Mike. Mike works for his father for what he describes as 'a pittance' and suffers being publicly humiliated by him rather too often. Frank would like to sack Mike, but doesn't feel able to take such a drastic step. To add to the problem, Christine is very fond of Mike's wife, Monique - to the detriment of her own daughter, Amy who works in retail - much to her father's chagrin. He'd love to have her in the business rather than Mike. It's very complicated.
