Fiddleheads, Fancy Titles & Fantasies: A Romantic Comedy

By: Douglas, Dalton

Fiddleheads, Fancy Titles & Fantasies is a small-town Maine rom-com where a burned-out Chief Visionary Officer tries to disappear-and gets lovingly dismantled by a blunt local forager who treats fancy titles like a symptom.

Carter Vance is brilliant on paper and exhausted in private. When the job that once made him feel chosen starts making him feel owned, he escapes to Dalton for a "quiet reset" in a tasteful cabin with hiking socks, spreadsheets, and absolutely no emotions.

Dalton has other plans.

Wes Alder-Dalton's dry-humored forager and seasonal guide-takes one look at Carter's expensive boots and immediate identity crisis and decides the only ethical response is honesty. He feeds Carter fiddleheads like medicine, translates corporate language into plain truth, and refuses to be impressed by a title.

Their enemies-to-lovers bickering turns into reluctant trust... then inconvenient attraction... then the most terrifying thing of all: being known.

Because Dalton doesn't care what you do for a living. Dalton cares if you show up.

If you love:
- small-town Maine charm and chaotic community care
- grumpy/sunshine energy (with a blunt forager who is allergic to nonsense)
- burned-out corporate hero + grounded local who won't let him perform
- forced proximity, teasing, and slow-bloom tenderness
- found family, laugh-out-loud set pieces, and a big warm HEA

...welcome to Dalton. Eat your vegetables. Try not to overthink it.

(Standalone romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.)
