Of Course He Can Eat Carbs: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

A chef who feeds everyone but himself.

A personal trainer who's tired of counting everything.

And one meddling mom who knows a good match when she sees one.

James McKinney loves food-but cooking for one feels lonely, and cooking for others has started to feel like obligation instead of joy.

Mike Reynolds has his life dialed in: early mornings, clean routines, and a body everyone admires. What he doesn't have is someone who sees him as more than discipline and dedication.

Enter Maggie McGlynn.

After a few well-timed questions (and one suspiciously accurate spreadsheet), James and Mike find themselves sitting down together-no expectations, no performance, just food, conversation, and the unexpected relief of being seen.

As dinners turn into routines and routines turn into something steadier, both men have to confront the same question:

What if love isn't something you earn...

What if it's something you're allowed?

Of Course He Can Eat Carbs is a warm, low-conflict romantic comedy about rest, nourishment, chosen family, and the kind of love that doesn't ask you to be smaller to fit.

Standalone. Comfort-forward. Welcome to Dalton.
