Evelina came to New York chasing opportunity, but all she's found is exhaustion. Working under a short-term contract in an office that barely notices her, she spends her days trying to stay professional and unseen. Her boss's unwanted interest and her coworker's quiet resentment make each day heavier.
Outside of work, her small apartment feels more like a cage than a home, shared with a roommate she can't connect with and a silence that grows louder every night. Her father doesn't support her choices, and money keeps running thin.
When Evelina is assigned to a new project with Max - a distant, cold colleague - an unexpected mistake threatens both of their careers. But in the fallout, something begins to shift. Between long subway rides, missed meals, and quiet conversations, Evelina starts to see that survival isn't enough - she has to decide what kind of life she actually wants to build.

web of hearts
After years of living with rheumatoid arthritis, 34-year-old Rose has spent most of her life in the shadows of her own dreams. A career working with children with special educational needs, while fulfilling, left her exhausted and feeling disconnected from the world outside her job. Now, at a crossroads, Rose decides to leave behind the bustling city and move to the quiet countryside, where she can be closer to family, heal, and start over. Taking a new job as a nanny in a small village, Rose is drawn into a life she never expected-one where love and connection aren't as simple as she once thought. There, she meets Emmy, a spirited young girl with a heart full of questions, and her two uncles, each holding secrets and scars of their own. Luc is the charismatic, protective uncle with a past he's determined to keep hidden. He's everything Rose has ever wanted in a partner-warm, supportive, but there's a darkness behind his smile she can't quite place. Then there's Adam, the other uncle, who struggles with trust and vulnerability. He's been hurt before, and opening up to anyone feels like a risk he's unwilling to take, even if Rose feels drawn to him in a way she doesn't understand. As Rose begins to navigate her own fears of connection, love, and healing, she must decide what she's willing to risk-and whether she's ready to embrace the complexities of a life that's as beautifully tangled as the relationships she's slowly beginning to unravel.Complete
