Summary
“If you’re so worried about your daughter then why are you wasting your time yelling at me instead of caring for her?”
He stills. His fists clench, just once, and she can see the muscles in his jaw working, like it is taking him every ounce of will not to unhinge it, lean across the counter, and rip out her throat with his teeth.
Then he turns, without a word, and storms out the door, the tails of his black coat flying behind him like a cloak.
Aleksander is in need of a nanny for his six-month-old daughter. As it so happens, Alina is the only person she likes.- Language:

Summary
According to everyone, she wasn’t what any of them expected. When they’d heard she was a veteran they had thought she’d be hardened and serious. Instead they all said the same things about her. Helpful, funny, honest, and generous. She spent an absurd amount of money on things that bettered the community in some way. She was the main reason the mine carts and bus were working again. (Even though no one knew how she managed it.) Why the library suddenly gained a better collection. She’d even provided Penny with up to date books and supplies to help teach Jas and Vincent better. Robin had mentioned how she’d been hired to fix up the roof on the Stardrop and even paid her to inspect Evelyn and George’s roof when a leak was barely even mentioned.
With each story of generosity something in him tightened. He enjoyed hearing how she’d helped everyone in some way, even if it was just a simple errand, she didn’t hesitate. He was glad things were going well on her farm but a brief flash of her leaning heavily on a short cane left him worried. Was she pushing herself too far?A story about Harvey falling fast for a stubborn farmer.

Summary
"Maybe he should make that his mantra. Harvey Bowyer did not have place for emotions."
The war between the Ferngill Republic and the Gotoro Empire is finally over, but the scars it has left in the people remain. For Harvey Bowyer, the things he saw as a doctor on the front line still haunt him, it's easier to be numb than it is to feel at all.
Meanwhile, for Cass Fletcher, the aftermath of fighting in the war has taken its toll on her physically and mentally, and she has long since shut down the ability to fully experience emotions. When she gets the chance to start over on her grandfather's old farm, she reluctantly agrees in a last attempt to turn things around. Could this finally be the place that she finds peace, belonging and maybe let herself start to live again?
