The Obligation
Twenty years ago, Odin Freeburn promised his dying mother he would take care of his siblings. But now they're pulling him in all directions, and the mechanics workshop that keeps them housed and fed is up for sale. With the prospect of no job or home, his family wants to know what he plans to do-especially his mother, who has come back in spirit form to guide him.
The Fighting Freeburns
Odin thought his only battle was organizing the paperwork for the bank, but he's not the only one interested in Colpepper & Sons. Rival mechanic Harry Hamilton plans to put in an offer, and the McIntyre brothers are also being nosey about the fate of the workshop. Another spanner is thrown into the works when Jonesy Brown-long-absent father to Ares, Isolde, and Tristan-returns to Casino.
The Games People Play
Odin still hasn't found a guarantor for the loan, and Jonesy Brown has had Odin locked up for assault-with the court date set for the same day as the auction. Meanwhile, Ares attempts to blackmail the bank manager to push the loan through; Athena unwittingly meets the lurking spirit of her grandmother; and Tristan's girlfriend, Anastasia, tells him she can't see him anymore.
Nobody Lives Forever
Libby, sick of not being appreciated, decides to let the Freeburns fend for themselves-until Athena turns up on her doorstep looking for her school uniform. When Libby confronts Odin about taking her for granted, he takes her by surprise in a moment of romantic inspiration. Meanwhile, Jonesy breaks into the Freeburn home in search of his stolen money, and Tristan tries to win back Anastasia.
The Mighty Are Fallen
With Odin fighting for his life in the hospital, Libby tries to keep it together for the girls. The pressure is on from the bank, though, with Odin late in making the first repayment, and the Freeburn home and workshop in danger of repossession. As Eden leads Odin through visions of the past and his role in the accident that took her own life, he struggles against his memories.
She Who Supplanted Her Sister
Everyone is relieved to have Odin home, but the business is in deep trouble. When Jamie, Odin's wife, arrives out of nowhere looking a million dollars, all Libby's insecurities return, and the girls have mixed reactions. Ares confides a secret to Isolde that explains part of the family feud with the McIntyres, and Odin moves forward with Libby, only for Eden to make a disturbing prediction.

When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
