Beschreibung

‘Marek’ is a fascinating, fast-moving novel describing sensitively a young man’s experience of war and peace in a gripping account set against the tragic events of World War I in Russia. That country was ruled by the Tsar. Russian rulers, then and until today have ruled as autocrats, causing enormous misery and loss of life. On the outbreak of WWI many Czechs and Slovaks living in Russia, although citizens of the Habsburg Empire had little loyalty to the Emperor. In fact, many were openly hostile and formed a semi-autonomous Legion within the Russian Army. After the Russian revolution they tried unsuccessfully to remain neutral in the civil war in which the Red Army defeated the aristocrats. They wished to return home but the only way was to cross Siberia by train and by ship to Europe. Their now largely forgotten story is told through the eyes of Marek, a young recruit.

    Hiring a good nanny should be easy for the CEO of a billion-dollar company, but with my high expectations and shining personality, it’s proving to be harder than expected. 
    Five. That’s how many nannies my daughter has had since her mother abandoned her at day care six months ago. 
    So, when Josie Hastings walks into my life and pulls my anxious little girl out of her shell, I’m powerless against hiring her. 
    Even if she pulls a sock puppet out of her purse during her interview. 
    Even if she gets glitter all over my pristine living room. 
    And even if sparks fly between us. 
    Too much is on the line to have feelings for the infuriating woman who now lives in my house. Some lines shouldn't be crossed, but I find myself unable to stay away from her. 
    I wish she was a bad nanny so I could fire her, but I'm falling hard for the one woman who could unravel everything. And I think I want to let her. 
    Bad Nanny is a spicy rom-com standalone with all the feels.
