Campfires, Clambakes & Compatibility: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

Compatibility can be measured... right?

Dalton's summer kickoff fundraiser-Campfires & Clambakes Weekend-is supposed to be simple: light the fire, serve the food, welcome the summer people, and raise money for the volunteer fire department without accidentally burning down town property.

Truman Sanchez, Dalton's meticulous numbers guy, has spreadsheets for everything. Budgets. Permits. Volunteer assignments. Fire safety. Emotional risk? Not on the list.

Mick McCarthy, the pub's calm, charming bartender, has a different system: read the room, feed people before they get cranky, and keep Truman from stress-spiraling into a clipboard-based meltdown.

When they're forced into co-chairing the event, their methods clash hard-until late-night prep sessions turn into unexpected teamwork... and then into something warmer than either of them planned.

But when a budget hiccup hits, Truman's control spiral puts everything at risk-especially the one thing he can't quantify: Mick.

Because in Dalton, love isn't perfect alignment.

It's showing up-again and again-until it feels like home.

Campfires, Clambakes & Compatibility is a feel-good M/M small-town romantic comedy packed with banter, community chaos, and a soft, swoony love story where the fire finally catches on the first try.
