Boats, Bonfires & Bad Decisions: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

Josiah Knox believes rules exist for a reason.

As a safety-first patrol volunteer at Dalton Lake, Josiah likes clear signs, correct knots, orderly launches, and absolutely no one tying a boat to a No Mooring post before coffee.

Then Levi Lowell arrives.

Levi is charming, reckless, allergic to caution, and entirely too amused by Josiah's clipboard. What starts as a citation becomes a weekend of forced proximity, escalating dock chaos, near-misses, and the deeply inconvenient discovery that Levi is not nearly as careless as Josiah wants him to be.

Levi knows Josiah sees him as a walking safety violation. Josiah knows Levi is the kind of man who turns every rule into a negotiation. But as sparks fly beside boats, bonfires, and one very badly timed kayak incident, they both have to decide whether love is another risk to avoid-or the one bad decision worth making.

Boats, Bonfires & Bad Decisions is a cozy MM small-town romantic comedy featuring rule-following tension, lakeside chaos, forced proximity, opposites attract energy, a bonfire reconciliation, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
