For six months, Daou's cafe was the only place where Offroad could just be a person, not a calculated instrument for the federal government. Daou loved the brilliant engineer's passion, never knowing that Offroad's designs were for the very capsule he was about to board. When the truth comes out just days before pre-flight quarantine, the betrayal cuts deeper than the vacuum of space. Daou cuts the line, choosing to move on, while Offroad carries his guilt into the silent, freezing shadows of the moon. It takes a terrifying, near-fatal accident broadcast on international news to realize that anger means nothing if the person you love is dying in the dark.

If the love you broke crosses your path again, will you fight to get him back or stand aside and let him be happy with the love that put his broken pieces back together. (Read at your own risk. This is not going to be a typical #DaouOffroad story. If you like angst and bittersweet stories and endings, this is for you. This is going to be Book 1 of a 2 Part series.)

Daou thought his biggest problem was surviving corporate life at NOVA SPACE Properties until his roommate moved out and Bangkok rent started personally attacking his bank account. Offroad thought his biggest problem was his leaking apartment ceiling, impossible architecture deadlines, and emotionally recovering from work every day. According to Mixx, the obvious solution was making them move in together. Now what was supposed to be a temporary and financially responsible arrangement has slowly turned into shared routines, late-night conversations, movie nights, domestic arguments over kitchen organization, and a level of comfort neither of them fully understands yet. Surrounded by chaotic coworkers, intrusive friends, accidental jealousy, and one extremely entertained friend group, Daou and Offroad are beginning to realize that living together might have been the best and most dangerous idea Mixx has ever had.

where fantasy comes to reality....

READ THE WARNING

My brother's friend.

Daou is used to getting what he wants. Wealth, charm, and confidence have always opened doors until he meets Offroad, a fierce, unfiltered artist who sees right through him. Their flirtation sparks a deeper connection, tangled with tension, vulnerability, and desire. As their worlds collide, love grows in the space between resistance and surrender.

Offroad was never meant to become a weapon. But when a team of vigilantes recruits him to expose a minister's deadly corruption, his life spirals into a maze of heists, betrayals, and buried family secrets. Caught between the mission and his growing connection with the mysterious Daou, Offroad uncovers a truth powerful enough to shatter everything, only if he survives long enough to reveal it.

One night, one encounter, and one tale of throwing caution to the wind that ended up changing the course of so many lives. What is one to do when a line has to be drawn between duty, pleasure, and happiness? How much can one hold until they break? What happens when the song is over and the storm arrives?
