Love mystery of past residents and how they come to light with new ventures. She goes out on a limb to try to cure one of his illnesses, not knowing if it will work....good read, kept my interest.

Ten  projects to choose from. Some are fast and easy to do in a day, others take longer.
Like how the first project is a hat but with instructions for 4 different sizes.  Each pattern has a colorful photo along with very detailed instructions on how to make.

Alexandria runs a farm and the townsfolk have some opinions about the animals she keeps on the farm.
She needs to hire another to pull her out of troubles. Michael Justice has been sent to her to help on the farm, he's an angel in disguise.
Like the story line and how the farm got started and how wounded warriors run it along with Alex.
Liked hearing of how the neighbors help one another with Michael's help. He was not to fall in love with her. steamy sex scenes.
He opens up to her as to how long he can stay...
