Summary
Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.
Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion. As professional frustrations mount and personal lives press in from all sides, unspoken tensions and blurred boundaries begin to surface. Set between office politics, digital escapes, and moments of vulnerability, this is a slow-burn story about misjudgment, longing, and the complicated ways people learn to see one another.

Summary
Nick’s a primary school teacher with a dependable routine, a cupboard full of mismatched mugs, and a tendency to carry the weight of other people’s feelings. He isn’t looking for anything new—definitely not a florist tucked between a laundromat and a textiles store, with sleepy cats in the window and soft music drifting through the door.
But the shop is warm. Quiet. A little overgrown. And the boy behind the counter has ink on his skin, dimples that appear when he smiles, and a silence that says more than words could. Charlie doesn’t speak, not out loud- but he writes labels like they’re tiny poems and arranges flowers like they mean something, if you know how to look. Nick keeps finding reasons to go back. For the bouquets, sure. But also for the stillness. For the boy with the dandelion behind his ear.
Nick doesn’t know what he’s looking for. But every time he sees Charlie, something about him lingers- like petals pressed between pages, like soft scent on fingers, like the way you carry someone in your thoughts long after they’ve gone.
What are you supposed to do when someone makes you feel like spring is coming back, one petal at a time?

Summary
Alphas aren't supposed to want other Alphas.
For Shane Hollander, that unspoken societal rule doesn't ring true. It's fine, though. He has everything under control, and the people around him are none the wiser.
Unfortunately, he never counted on Ilya Rozanov seeing right through him.

Summary
Shane swallowed hard. “This is such a bad idea.”
“It is,” Ilya said.
His hand came up, thumb settling beneath Shane’s jaw and tilting his face upward. The touch alone sent a shiver through him.
“You are too young,” Ilya murmured. “You are going to get me into trouble.”
Shane barely had time to breathe before Ilya leaned in.
Shane Hollander has made a lot of mistakes in his life. Getting pregnant by a married Russian man twice his age is easily the worst one.

Summary
Nicholas Nelson, office worker, has a massive crush on the beautiful blue-eyed curly-haired man from the food van who brings around the sandwich trolley every day. He's got dimples! And a pride pin on his shirt! It's been two whole weeks and Nick's in love.
Unfortunately for Nick, he can't stop saying increasingly homophobic-sounding stuff every time Sandwich Bae gets within five feet of him.
