|Wattys 2025 Shortlist| She was a sunlight. Wild, daring, and free. He was the crescent moon. Silent, disciplined, and powerful. Dorothy Maeve Andino lived like life was a dance she already mastered. But then came Zul Qurnain Rabbani-the man born into legacy, built from faith and restraint. He wasn't supposed to notice her. Yet when their worlds collided, something shifted.
