Criminal × detective ____ Elio wasn't always like this. No one was. He didn't have blood on his hands since the beginning. His mind didn't turn every conversation into an overthinking session before, not every person was a threat. That was until he turned seventeen. Then the world decided to take away the most precious things he had. For years, this went on. No one noticed. Who would? The planning was perfect. But, All it took was one murder case for Axel to figure out this was much more than just a single murder. Axel wasn't a child raised in softness and bubble wrap, he suffered in his own skin too, but what he chose was the path of light. The thing he knew was right. Two people, two sides of the same coin. There was merely a line between them, thin as a side of a paper. Inbetween plans, strategies and manipulation, something sweet bloomed. It did not belong to this world. Their world was made of crimes, and the one who softened, lost. Will they be able to part ways from their respective pasts? Or will they continue the game? [MlM]

[WATTY'S 2026 SHORTLISTS] Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus.

This Theo is raw, complex, and beautifully broken in places she never noticed before. ​Suddenly, Sophia wants things she never dared to dream of. His kisses. His hands on her skin. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck has become a dangerous line they can't stop crossing, forcing her to realize the most terrifying truth of all: ​What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?
