[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.

Mara Dawson is a gentle soul-shy, kind, and impossibly beautiful, both inside and out. An orphan who spent most of her life in solitude, Mara never believed she was deserving of love. That was until fate brought her to Matt Dawson, the man who would change everything. Matt Dawson is everything any woman could dream of-rich, powerful, and strikingly handsome with a physique that could rival Greek gods. A former Navy SEAL, fearless, intelligent, and cold to everyone except the ones he loves. He never believed in love until he met Mara, the sweet, innocent doctor who turned out to be his heart's true home. But when a tragic misunderstanding shatters their world in an instant, their once-perfect relationship is left in ruins. Three years later, destiny pulls them back together, but things have changed. Secrets that Mara has buried deep in her brown eyes begin to surface. Who is hunting her? And what lengths will Matt go to in order to protect the woman he once lost-and still loves? In a whirlwind of passion, danger, and untold truths, can love survive the storms of the past? Or will the shadows of secrets tear them apart forever?

When Aiden left Bailey a year and a half ago she was just his shy nerdy best friend. They would spend every day together, tell each other their deepest secrets and vowed they’d never let anything come between them for as long as they lived. However Aiden’s sudden move changed all of that. Once Bailey realizes she no longer has her support system and can’t get by just being Aiden’s quiet little best friend anymore she knows it’s time for a change. And what better way to make a change than be the change. Away with those thick brown unnecessarily large glasses and braces and let’s not forget the baggy wardrobe and in with new stuff. After a complete makeover and change in social status Bailey is no longer that shy quiet girl. No she is the “it girl.” But can popularity and new clothes change who you were on the inside completely? According to Bailey though, she doesn’t even know that girl anymore so maybe it can. Life was pretty much perfect….well almost. How can be anymore when her best friend shows back up expecting to find the girl he’d left a couple of years ago? Now with Aiden in the same house next door that they grew up in and looking as good as ever it does nothing short of throwing her through a loop. How will this affect her new found status as Ms. Popular? And can she keep it up with Aiden back again? Who knows but he’s sure not gonna make it easy on her. Not when he wants back the girl he used to know.
