Love has a habit of showing up where no one expects it.
In Almost Real, a man agrees to fake a relationship just to quiet family pressure. But every look, every touch, makes it harder to tell what’s staged and what’s breaking through for real.
Roommate From the Afterlife twists ordinary living arrangements when a ghost refuses to leave a cozy apartment. What starts as irritation soon shifts into companionship and a connection that pushes past the line between life and death.
And in Next Door Nuisance, a sunny optimist and his grumpy neighbor argue over everything from fence height to morning noise. Yet their bickering turns into banter, and the sparks that follow feel harder to dismiss.
Three stories, three unexpected beginnings, one truth: love is rarely tidy but always unforgettable. Will these mismatched starts turn into something real?

If you enjoyed the charm and humor of this book’s stories, you’ll find even more in the Swipe, Stumble, Swoon series each volume brings three new romantic comedies full of mishaps, laughter, and happily-ever-afters.
Swipe, Stumble, Swoon is a playful collection of gay MM romantic comedies where every story blends laugh-out-loud chaos with soft, clean romance. These novellas highlight awkward starts, oddball friendships, and those tiny, surprising moments that turn a regular day into something more.
Each set of three brings new characters and fresh twists from mistaken identities across a crowded coffee shop to first dates that slide sideways in the best kind of way. Sometimes it’s a clumsy swipe on an app, sometimes it’s stumbling into the wrong conversation at exactly the right time.
Lighthearted and warm, these stories remind us that love doesn’t need perfect timing it just needs to show up.
Will you trip into it too?
