Timbers, Tarps & Terrible Ideas: A Romantic Comedy

By Dalton Douglas

Victor Anderson likes old wood, quiet mornings, and a warehouse that runs on structure, skill, and the firm belief that not everything needs to be turned into a story.

Zander Smart likes momentum, visibility, and helping people see the hidden value in places they might otherwise overlook.

Unfortunately for Victor, Zander has decided Anderson Reclaim & Restoration is one of the most compelling spaces in the district.

After a storm forces several local businesses into shared cleanup, storage, and recovery mode, Victor's carefully controlled warehouse becomes an unexpected hub of activity-and Zander keeps showing up with plans, people, and entirely too much optimism. Victor would prefer to be left alone with his reclaimed beams, repaired doors, and properly labeled systems. Zander, on the other hand, thinks the warehouse is full of history, craftsmanship, and the exact kind of local magic the district needs more of.

As cleanup turns into collaboration, and collaboration turns into something much harder to ignore, Victor and Zander find themselves caught between privacy and visibility, structure and momentum, and the deeply inconvenient fact that they might understand each other far better than either of them wants to admit.

Timbers, Tarps & Terrible Ideas is a warm, funny small-town romantic comedy featuring a reserved craftsman, a strategic charmer in a rain jacket, storm-cleanup chaos, restoration and repair, meddling locals, tactile workshop vibes, and a hard-won happily ever after.
