[COMPLETE] Casper's got three things: a trash boyfriend, a deadend job, and enough self-destructive habits to ruin his life. So, if Cain - a charming, enigmatic stranger - seems a little too captivated by him, he's not going to question his luck. Except his perfect stranger turns out to be yet another bad decision. Claiming to be Casper's lover from a past life, Cain takes him prisoner. But even if his kidnapper's starting to give him butterflies, Casper can't stay trapped in a cage. He knows how to get out - he's just got to trick Cain into thinking Casper loves him back, but Casper's never been able to stick to a plan. He's drowning in depression, his mental break demon won't leave him alone, and he's struggling to remember what's real and what's the game. Especially now Cain's madness seems just a little too real to feel safe. 🥇 1st Place for Romance in the Autumn Awards🍂 🥇 1st Place for Romance in the Starlight Awards🌟 🥈 2nd Place for Romance/New Adult in Books Got Talent 2020🌍 🥇 1st Place for Romance in the Phoenix Awards🐦 🥇 1st Place for LGBTQ+ in the Golden Wings Awards👼 🥉 3rd Place for Romance in the Soul Writers Award ☁️ 🥉3rd Place for Romance in the Halcyon Awards 💙 🥇 1st Place for Romance & 🥈 2nd Place of All Winners in the Cosmic Rose Awards 🥀 🥇 1st Place for General Fiction in the Carnival Awards🎪 🥈 2nd Place for Best Main Character in the Carnival Awards🎪 🏵️ 4th Place for Romance in the Tricolor Triennial Awards [Phase 3] 🇮🇳 🥇 1st Place for Romance & 🥉 3rd Place of All Winners in the in the Fairy Awards🧚 🥈 2nd Place of All Books in the Shut Up and Write Awards 💬 🥈 2nd Place for Romance in the Blooming Rose Awards 🌹 🥈 2nd Place for New Adult Romance & 🏵️ Honorable Mention Overall in the Lovely Awards 💗 CW: Suicide attempt, heavy mental health, drug abuse & implied sexual abuse/r*pe

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.
