Ice Dams, Ice Cream & Imagination: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

Ice Dams, Ice Cream & Imagination drops Dalton, Maine into late-winter chaos-when roofs start leaking, gutters turn into icicle battlegrounds, and the town's favorite emergency fundraiser becomes a full-contact sport.

Gavin Ward is the kind of man you call when something is wrong: calm, meticulous, and built for fixing problems-not feelings. Toby Barton is the kind of man who shows up with cocoa, a ridiculous amount of hope, and the unnerving ability to make hard days feel lighter. When an ice-dam disaster forces them into close quarters, long nights, and nonstop teamwork, Gavin discovers Toby's warmth isn't a distraction-it's a lifeline.

And then Jesse enters the picture: steady, capable, and quietly impossible to ignore.

As Dalton rallies with ladders, soup, and way too many opinions, Gavin is faced with the one situation he can't solve with a checklist-learning how to be wanted, not just needed. Because winter doesn't care how competent you are... but the right people might.

A cozy small-town romantic comedy packed with competence, community chaos, and the kind of tenderness that holds.
