[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

In a world held together by violence, blood, and power, Layla has somehow managed to hold on to the sweetness inside her. Something her father has tried to take from her more times than she can count. He's spent years trying to break her, but when that doesn't work, he decides to give her to someone else.

Luca Romano is the underboss of the Italian mob, and he has no interest in playing husband. He's cold. Gruff. Unapproachable. Smiling isn't something he does, and neither is letting people get close enough to hurt him. So when Layla becomes his soon-to-be wife, Luca expects her to fear him. Instead, she smiles at him. She talks to him. She somehow finds her way past every wall he's spent years building. Her father thought handing Layla over in marriage would finally break her. He was wrong. Because Layla doesn't break. And somewhere along the way, she manages to find her way into Luca's cold heart-leaving the man everyone fears completely powerless against the one person he never saw coming. His sweet wife may just be the death of him.
