Watty's 2025 Shortlist
Samantha Bricks wanted a quiet life.
After cutting ties with her controlling family and carving out a modest career as a schoolteacher, she thought peace was finally hers. But then the letters begin. Red. Handwritten. Obsessive. Always unsigned. Each note presses deeper under her skin, unraveling the fragile sense of safety she's worked so hard to rebuild.
Then there's Holland St. Claire-a mute little girl in her class with haunted eyes and disturbing paintings. She doesn't speak. Barely even reacts. But Samantha sees her, understands her in a way no one else does. And when Holland's father begins showing up late and aloof, Samantha assumes the worst. Until she meets Julian St. Claire, and everything shifts. Their first encounter is sharp, electric-an intimacy that unsettles her. Julian offers her a job babysitting Holland. But soon, he wants more. Her time. Her body. Her focus. And his secrets run dark and deep.
Just as she starts slipping into Julian's magnetic orbit, Crown Prince Evander De Navarre of New Everest shows up-entitled, intoxicating, and sinfully persuasive. He's used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Samantha. Suddenly, she's trapped between two powerful, complicated men: Julian, brooding and unreadable. Evander, dangerous in a way she can't quite name.
But this isn't just a twisted romance. As the love notes grow more threatening and her ex's mysterious disappearance begins to resurface, Samantha realizes the truth is far darker than she ever imagined. This isn't about desire. It's about control. It's about survival. And someone is watching her every move.

HIS DARK LOVE
'He would do anything... betray others or even learn to love, change the states and kill the eyes that ever looked at HIS DARK LOVE...' . . Two individuals... and their story- A boy who lost everything but never gave up on love, which he was now... AND a man who had everything but not a piece of love to give, which he wanted... just for one boy. Their love? Not sweet, not even bittersweet- just... twisted. Twisted in a form... North would kill anyone, that ever tried to separate him from Night, but he still wouldn't realize it was his fault all along. Night? He hates him to the core. Nobody stayed that long- not when he wanted, even if it meant being as his nightmare. The more he hated- it still never felt enough... until he forced himself to believe it was all a lie. Acceptance was a lie, and Night would live with it. Both were crazy. North- for Night. And Night? God knows and let him figure it out. It wasn't just a story. It was the truth. Bittersweet and very- obsessive. 'Love has no limitation. But North's love needed one, cuz it had to fight something worse- obsession.' With the truths to be revealed and the love that is forced...

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely. How do you tell somebody who you can't talk to that you're in love with them? Simple. You force them to listen. WARNING: THIS STORY INCLUDES THE VERY ATTRACTIVE DANIEL GREY WHO REMINDS ME AND EVERYONE WITH OVARIES OF A SOFT GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY THAT IS SLEEPING ON YOUR CHEST SO PLEASE BEWARE THAT YOUR OVARIES WILL EXPLODE WHILE READING THIS STORY!

Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."

Damien Daniel, her childhood crush who never looked her way even once. Her brother's enemy. She was too small for him, not sexy or beautiful enough for him, too shy to even talk to him. Their attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as she ached to be his, she feared the pressure of his demands. *** Submitting to each other meant they had to break so many rules.

Falling Tower
**Unedited** "She can't come to the phone right now. I'll be happy to take a message for you." My blood runs cold. "Where is she? What have you done to her?" He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic. "Nothing, yet." "If you touch her-" "What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!" My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would. "I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want. Just leave her be. I'll meet you wherever you want. Take me, please, just leave her out of this." I hear Jasmen crying. "See, but where would all the fun be in that? I could smack you around, take away your fancy cars, and you'd be fine. But if I do this-" I hear Jasmen screaming again. What the hell was he doing to her? I swore the minute I got the chance too, I was going to kill him. "No, please stop! For fuck sake, please!!" I felt helpless. I was letting her down in the biggest way. "See what I mean.
