Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realise they've been marked for death. To get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival.

<p>Společenská dynamika pražského jara byla mnohem vrstevnatější a otevřenější než pařížský květen 1968 nebo než listopadové události roku 1989. Kniha se zaměřuje na opomíjené dimenze pražského jara, které na něj vrhají jiné světlo a přinášejí jiný pohled než ten, s nímž se běžně setkáváme v polistopadových českých a slovenských pracích. Jsou v ní představeny reformy týkající se podnikové demokracie, samosprávného soudnictví, zrušení politických, od společnosti odtržených elit a další myšlenky a počiny pražského jara. Jako jedinečný rys pražského jara vykresluje vzájemné výměny mezi vládnoucí mocí, expertními týmy a společenskými hnutími. Díky nim reformy přecházely v revoluci, která od základu proměňovala státní socialismus. Tváří v tvář dnešním krizím se události pražského jara stávají novým inspiračním zdrojem.</p>

<p>Hallie Welch fell hard for Julian Vos at fourteen, after they almost kissed in the dark vineyards of his family's winery. Now the prodigal hottie has returned to their small town. When Hallie is hired to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate, she wonders if she'll finally get that smooch. But the grumpy professor isn't the teenager she remembers and their polar opposite personalities clash spectacularly. One wine-fueled girls' night later, Hallie can't shake the sense that she did something reckless-and then she remembers the drunken secret admirer letter she left for Julian. Oh shit. On sabbatical from his ivy league job, Julian plans write a novel. But having Hallie gardening right outside his window is the ultimate distraction. She's eccentric, chronically late, often literally covered in dirt-and so unbelievably beautiful, he can't focus on anything else. Until he finds an anonymous letter sent by a woman from his past. Even as Julian wonders about this admirer, he's sucked further into Hallie's orbit. Like the flowers she plants all over town, Hallie is a burst of color in Julian's gray-scale life. For a man who irons his socks and runs on tight schedules, her sunny chaotic energy makes zero sense. But there's something so familiar about her... and her very presence is turning his world upside down.</p>
