He stepped closer, and I retreated until my back pressed against a tree trunk. His eyes held mine, and for a moment, I glimpsed something darker beneath the warmth. "Clara," Owen murmured, his lips brushing my ear. I closed my eyes. "Have I ever been mean to you? Hurt you...? No. Maverick is trying to get rid of me. He's jealous." Snow fell softly, covering the ground like a white veil. And as Owen's lips brushed mine, I didn't move, I didn't fight, and I was transported back into that small dark room at the orphanage. This is my job. I let Owen press me into the tree and kiss me. ▪︎●▪︎ Clara's past has left her with scars that run deep, making her hesitant to trust anyone. When she finds herself caught in a love triangle between Maverick, a police officer with a strong, protective presence, and Owen, who is kind and caring, she begins to question whom she can rely on. As Clara navigates this complex landscape, she must confront her past traumas and her present struggles in order to find a way forward. But with her heart and mind in turmoil, Clara is at risk of being led down a dangerous path - one that she may not be able to escape from. Will Clara find the strength to break free from the past and create a new future for herself, or will she be trapped in a cycle of heartache and betrayal?

**2026 PRIDE AWARDS SHORTLIST** Tommy's older, jaded, and sure he's too broken to love. Riley's younger, gentle, and still believes in forever. - Tommy Carter learned early that desire could drown you. That wanting the wrong thing could get you hurt... or worse. So he buried it. Became a cop. Got engaged to a woman. Lived the life expected of him, even as the weight of silence filled his lungs. Then he met Riley Monroe, a sweet, soft-spoken physical therapy student-- and everything Tommy shouldn't be thinking about late at night. Tommy, closeted and aching, knows he should keep his distance. Riley is sunshine in human form, with a shy smile and eyes that see right through him. He's never been with a man. Never let himself want one this badly. But Riley's kindness cracks something open in him. Makes him feel like maybe, just maybe... it's not too late to want more. The age gap should be a warning. The timing couldn't be worse. But Riley is something like oxygen... and for the first time in years, Tommy wants to breathe. TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains homophobic language, traumatic childhood scenarios, and mature sexual content.
