☕ Sugar & Steam (ForceBook)
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.Complete
The Real Fix

This isn't a story about neat solutions or happy-ever-afters. It's about good days that end too soon, bad days that feel too heavy, and the messy in-betweens when you're just trying to breathe. There's no magic cure. No perfect answer. But maybe the real fix isn't about silencing the pain-it's about finding the people who make you want to keep going.Complete
