Seattle Marketing Vibes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798263247300)

Eli Bennett, a senior copywriter at a bustling Seattle marketing firm, is trying to move on after a breakup with his demanding boyfriend. Known for his clever campaigns and dry wit, he hides insecurities about being "too much" for others. Everything changes when Min Jae "Jace" Park, his long-lost best friend and almost boyfirend from an unforgettable summer, joins the firm as a digital strategist. Their reunion is fraught with unresolved tension; Jace's abrupt departure years ago left Eli hurt and defensive.

Jace returns to Seattle with emotional baggage and the burden of remaining closeted due to his conservative upbringing. Soft-spoken and introspective, he contrasts sharply with Eli's bravado. As their colleagues speculate about their past, Eli keeps Jace at arm's length, masking his turmoil. Meanwhile, Jace yearns to reconnect but fears confronting buried feelings. Their complicated dynamic intensifies when they are thrust together on a high-stakes project, forcing them to navigate their complicated history.

As they collaborate, old memories resurface, reigniting the passion they once had. Eli wrestles with vulnerability, terrified of being hurt again, while Jace grapples with the courage to be true to himself. A pivotal moment pushes Jace to reveal his lingering feelings for Eli, challenging him to embrace authenticity.

The walls between them begin to fall, but setbacks loom as Jace struggles to step out of the shadows.

Ultimately, they find closure from their troubled pasts and a chance at a future together. Eli learns that being "too much" is what makes him enough for Jace, while Jace discovers that true love demands risk.
