Eggs, Emergencies & Enchanted Idiots: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

Eggs are supposed to be simple.

In Dalton, Maine, they never are.

Owen McKinney's "FREE EGGS" cooler is a beloved neighborhood tradition-until a summer person slips on a stray feather, faceplants into the eggs, and turns wholesome community courtesy into a full-scale liability incident. Suddenly there are memos. There's a town meeting. There's glitter (which may or may not be a controlled substance). And there is one very serious man who looks like he's seconds away from issuing a citation to the concept of joy.

Tanner Teller is Dalton's banker: careful, exacting, and allergic to chaos. He likes predictable numbers, tidy risk, and plans that don't involve chickens. Unfortunately for him, Owen is the opposite-soft-hearted, wildly competent with animals, and absolutely unhinged with paperwork. When Tanner gets assigned to help Owen "make it compliant," their bickering turns into an inconvenient attraction... and then into the kind of tenderness that changes what home feels like.

As Dalton debates waivers, signs, and whether kindness needs a policy, Owen and Tanner have to decide what's worth protecting: the egg station, the town's soul, and the messy, honest thing growing between them.

Eggs, Emergencies & Enchanted Idiots is a warm small-town romantic comedy featuring opposites attract, forced proximity, community chaos, and two men learning that boundaries don't ruin kindness-boundaries save it.
