When Dalia, devastated by her father's death, is left all alone, her long-lost brother Adan returns to be her legal guardian, but... he's turned into a vampire. A secret that worsens their already strained relationship, to the point where their animosity puts their lives in danger. Having no other choice than to leave his sister and return to Castellum Academy, Adan asks his best friend to look after her until he finds a new guardian. But to Dalia's misfortune, Janik is also a vampire, and not just any vampire. He is one of the academy's founders, a leading advocate for progressive vampire laws in the region, and consequently, a prime target of the opposing movement known as "The Resistance." Living with him will change everything Dalia thought she knew about vampires, about the world, and... everything she thought she knew about love. A dark event puts an end to their relationship before it can truly begin. Years later, Dalia and Janik meet again, caught in the middle of an underground battle. *** Note from the author: My dearest English speaking reader, hi!

I only wanted one thing: to stay invisible. Instead, I end up in a villa in Tuscany - surrounded by chaos, secrets, and two ridiculously hot foster brothers... who are absolutely off-limits. *** Sofie was used to handling life on her own. Unfortunately, child services has a different plan. Now she and her little sister are placed with a foster family. Their estate, tucked away in the rolling hills of Tuscany, is already a shock. As if that weren't enough, she keeps running into her "new" siblings - not just around the villa, but also at their snobby private school. Especially the two sons really mess with Sofie's life. If only they wouldn't look so ridiculously hot, it would be easier for Sofie to keep hoping that her mother - and her familiar, normal life - might come back. *** Amid family chaos, racing hearts, and homesickness, Sofie has to learn that you can't always run away... and maybe she doesn't even want to anymore.

When Teia Cloto travels to Naples, Italy, hoping to steady a life already quietly unravelling, the last thing she needs is a blind date that turns into an easy, unexpected friendship. Alden instantly makes the city feel strangely familiar in ways Teia didn't know she needed. Drawn deeper into Naples' ancient past and her own unsettling sense of déjà vu, the line between coincidence and destiny begin to blur. Staying friends is simpler. But Teia must confront whether destiny is a story we inherit, or one we choose to rewrite, no matter the cost. Water and Sand is a contemporary love story that reimagines the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, where love is a labyrinth and friendship feels like the safest way out. #thenanowatt #thenanowatt2026

Adrasteia 'Teia' Cloto arrives in Naples believing all she needs is a vacation. And to finish her master's thesis on an expedited schedule. What Teia doesn't need is for four matchmaking retirees to arrange a blind date before she's even unpacked. Then, she meets Alden Colle. Worldly, charming, and mildly infuriating, Alden is a serious writer with a slight obsession with Greek mythology. One date turns into two, then three... They sail the Neapolitan coastline, wander ancient ruins, and fall into a connection Teia has no sensible way to explain. Around Alden, Naples feels oddly familiar. Hidden frescoes come alive. Mirrors show glimpses of another reality. And when he speaks of Theseus, Alden's sadness feels a little too personal. On their final night, Alden makes her a promise: Naxos. Two years. Five years later, Teia has a successful career, a dependable fiancé, and no intention of dwelling on Alden Colle again, especially when her ancient dating history suggests men like him rarely keep their promises. But when Teia returns to Italy, the past begins tugging at threads she thought she had severed, and Alden is waiting at the other end. Now Teia must decide whether to protect the sensible life she has built or risk everything for a love story Fate has been retelling for thousands of years. *** Water and Sand is a contemporary love story that reimagines the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, where love is a labyrinth and friendship feels like the safest way out. #Wattys2026
