Nor'Easters, Negotiations & Nirvana: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

A brutal nor'easter turns Dalton, Maine into a snowglobe with teeth-power out, roads buried, tempers high. Miles Kincaid is flown in to triage storm claims fast and keep chaos (and lawsuits) from exploding. He expects hostility, accusations, and sleepless nights. What he doesn't expect is Scotty Stewart: local musician, unofficial morale officer, and the infuriatingly charming man determined to keep Dalton from panicking... by any means necessary.

As Miles battles policy language, furious residents, and his own deeply buried fear of storms, Scotty keeps the town moving with coffee runs, generator diplomacy, and a candlelit pub singalong heavy on Nirvana covers. Their public bickering becomes entertainment. Their teamwork becomes unavoidable. And their chemistry becomes the one thing Miles can't spreadsheet into submission.

But when a hard claim decision detonates trust and Dalton turns cold, Miles has to choose: hide behind clauses and leave as the villain, or step into the messy work of honesty-repairing what he broke and admitting what he wants. Because nirvana isn't the absence of conflict. It's choosing each other anyway.

Nor'Easters, Negotiations & Nirvana is a warm, witty small-town romantic comedy packed with blackout banter, forced proximity, found-family chaos, and a hero who learns that competence is hot... but kindness is everything.
