In the vibrant, humid heart of Bangkok, Areeya runs Cat for Cash, a rescue café where the coffee is sweet, but the bookkeeping is a disaster. When she falls months behind on her taxes, the government sends their most formidable "shark" to close her down: Pakorn, a young, icy, and surgically efficient tax collector.
Pakorn arrives prepared to seize assets and sign eviction notices, but he isn't prepared for Areeya's disarming, motherly kindness-or her son, Tinn.
Tinn is a twenty-two-year-old university student who is as sharp as Pakorn but twice as protective. To save his mother's dream and the home of a dozen stray cats, Tinn strikes a desperate deal: he will allow Pakorn to audit the café's intake every single evening until the debt is paid.
