Breathwork, Bickering & Belonging : A Romantic Comedy (A Matchmaker Moms Romance #57)
Dalton Douglas
It’s a tool.
Elias “Eli” Mercer comes to Dalton, Maine to run the town’s first-ever Winter Reset Week—breathwork sessions, stress workshops, and a practical plan for surviving February without emotionally combusting. He’s blunt, brilliant, and intensely uninterested in small-town performative friendliness.
Clark Long is the calm, capable high school counselor/coach everyone trusts when winter hits hard. He’s also Dalton’s unofficial organizer of “keep people from falling apart” initiatives—and he does not appreciate outsiders who arrive with opinions, taglines, and the confidence of someone who thinks the town needs fixing.
Unfortunately for both of them, Winter Reset Week is already chaos.
A volunteer no-shows, the committee starts taking bets, and Dalton’s most relentless group chat (titled BREATHWORK BEEF) turns their bickering into entertainment. Forced to co-lead sessions, Eli and Clark keep colliding—over logistics, over boundaries, over whether “nervous system” is a normal phrase to say out loud in Maine.
But underneath the friction is something neither of them expected: competence that matches, honesty that lands, and a quiet tenderness that makes “belonging” feel less like a performance and more like a choice.
Breathwork, Bickering & Belonging is a warm, funny, small-town romantic comedy about stubborn men, winter survival, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask you to become someone else—just to finally breathe.
