As a former military member, Blakely Sabriel understands her best friend, Dakota Hart, has a duty to serve the realm. Perhaps that's why Blakely doesn't mind looking after Dakota's three rambunctious children, or perhaps it stems from the fact that Blakely is in love with him. Regardless of the reasons, Blakely knows she wants Dakota to return home quickly and safely.
 
However, it's hard to concentrate on raising three kids and hoping her best friend stays safe when her past is constantly lurking and just itching to sink its teeth into her again.

Common Ground by CarmenMan
7 parts Ongoing Mature
Ruby Callaghan spends her days caring for her little sister, Josephine, on what remains of their old, secluded farm. She finds a dull solace in the predictable monotony of her daily tasks and chores, drowning out the merciless conflict that surrounds her. Ruby mourns a quiet life of youthful pleasures, as she steeps in an all-consuming hatred for the war that took it away from her, and cautious avoidance of every soul involved. In a society bloodied by pain and strife, Ruby must navigate an internal labyrinth of anger, loneliness, and stubborn compassion. She knows that nothing could bring back what was lost in the savage destruction, so she works tirelessly to protect what is left. Her defensive worldview is challenged one fateful morning, when the isolating line she had drawn between her family and the evil that threatens them becomes crossed by a thundering storm of combat, closer than ever before. The complexities of empathy and a yearning for true connection become known to Ruby as the aftermath brings an unexpected encounter, one that forces her to confront her strongest convictions and deepest fears. As she becomes absorbed in the humanity of an unwelcome guest, one of the very people she always swore to keep out, Ruby embarks on a reluctant journey of change and resilience, keenly aware of how her actions may harm the people she loves most. When the bonds of family clash with the ugly scars of war, Ruby's life is shifted into a colorful sea of violence, passion, and poetry.
