When Force walks away from a corporate job to renovate a forgotten café in his hometown, the last thing he expects is to be saddled with a business partner-especially one like Book. Book is everything Force isn't: loud, unpredictable, messy, and too charming for his own good. He also happens to be an incredibly talented pastry chef... and dangerously good at pushing Force's buttons. Between spilled flour, shared late nights, and stolen glances across the kitchen counter, the tension between them starts to rise-hot, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. One reckless kiss turns into something deeper. One night becomes two, and then many. But lust is easy. Love? That's where things get complicated. As the café begins to thrive, so does their connection-until fear, pride, and past wounds threaten to tear it all down. In a world full of burnt coffee, broken ovens, and beautiful mistakes, Force and Book will learn that some things are worth risking everything for... especially each other.

Book is a closeted gay virgin, one that tries to deny his sexual orientation by dating women with the intention of eventually marrying one and living a normal life like his parents want him to, but it doesn't turn out the way he wants. Depressed, he gets drunk one night but wakes up the next morning finding himself in a world that is slightly different from his own....

This installment bridges the gap between the Arctic victory and their new lives as the world's most elite (and secret) horological task force.

The Premise: Book is a cynical hospital intern who has the "curse" of seeing shadows around people about to die. Force is a high-ranking Soul Reaper assigned to "harvest" a high-profile soul in Book's ward. When Book physically interferes with Force's scythe to save a patient, he accidentally breaks the laws of the afterlife, binding their life forces together. The Conflict: Force is now stuck in the human world, invisible to all but Book, until he can "untangle" their souls. He is cold, lethal, and annoyed by Book's humanity. Mature Themes: Ethical dilemmas about life and death, the trauma of the medical field, and the physical toll of being "soul-bound." Smut Direction: Power Dynamics & Sensory Overload. Because they are bound, they can feel each other's physical sensations. The first sexual encounter could stem from a "near-death" adrenaline rush where the boundary between pain and pleasure blurs due to their tether.

Ten years ago, Force Jiratchapong and Book Kasidet were the "it" couple of their university-one an aspiring athlete, the other a gifted artist. But the weight of the future pulled them apart, ending in a silent breakup that left both their lives feeling unfinished. Now, at thirty, Force is a successful but emotionally distant veterinarian who finds more comfort in animals than people. Book is a freelance illustrator returning to Bangkok after a decade in United States, hiding the fact that he's lost his "spark" for drawing. When Book accidentally rents the apartment directly across the hall from Force, the walls they've spent years building begin to crumble. In the narrow hallway between Units 501 and 502, they must decide if they are rewriting an old story or finally starting a new one.

The Premise Force is a superstar personal trainer and fitness influencer. His life is a strict regimen of 4:00 AM runs, protein shakes, and "grind" culture. Book is a high-level e-sports strategist and shut-in who survives on spicy ramen and hasn't seen the sun since the last rainy season. They are childhood friends who have drifted apart. During a heated argument at a local arcade over a glitchy, vintage "Fortune Teller" machine, a power surge hits. They wake up the next morning in each other's apartments-and each other's bodies.

FORCEBOOK SHORT STORY No summary bc it my first book and wanted it to be a surprise

In the hidden underworld of the Thai elite, Force is a Pureblood vampire-a six-hundred-year-old aristocrat who has grown weary of his immortality. He is cold, lethal, and has spent centuries avoiding "The Tether," a legendary soul-bond that supposedly binds a vampire to a human "Vessel." Book is a history student and a part-time archivist at a private museum. He is skeptical of anything he can't prove with a document, until he accidentally cuts his hand on an ancient dagger while cataloging Force's family heirlooms. The scent of Book's blood doesn't just trigger Force's hunger; it triggers a dormant, psychic bond that makes Force's dead heart beat for the first time in centuries. But there's a catch: Book's blood is "The Cure," and every time Force drinks from him, the vampire becomes more human, and the human becomes more fragile.

Three bachelors. One city. Endless chaos. In Bangkok, Jimmy, Junior, and Book stumble through work, romance, and friendship- sometimes gracefully, often not while learning that love has a way of showing up when you least expect it.

Tagline: Checking in is easy. Checking out is impossible. Story Description Tay and New are the proud (and perpetually stressed) owners of The Blue Anchor, a gorgeous but aging boutique resort passed down through Tay's eccentric family. They've spent five years building a life there-Tay breaking things, and New "supervising" from a sun lounger. When the bank threatens to foreclose, enter Force and Book: the "Resort Reapers." Force is a cold-blooded acquisitions expert, and Book is his overworked, hyper-organized strategist. Their mission? Document every flaw to justify a corporate buyout. But between Tay's accidental sabotage, New's gourmet bribery, and a series of "unfortunate" room assignments, the city boys find that their professional walls are crumbling faster than the resort's plumbing.
