Edward Dane believes in process, structure, and doing things the right way. That includes renovation projects, public buildings, and definitely not getting emotionally compromised by a local contractor with sawdust on his boots and opinions about rooflines.

Neil Kincaid knows how to make things stand. He trusts weather, workmanship, and common sense—not architects from Portland who show up with perfect plans for buildings that still have to survive a Maine winter.

When Dalton Town Hall needs repairs, Edward arrives with a vision and a clipboard. Neil wins the build with practical experience and zero patience for design choices that look good on paper but won’t hold up in real life. Forced to co-lead the renovation, they clash over every detail—from handrails to history to whether “one more late night” at the site is a good idea.

It is not.

Unfortunately, it keeps happening.

As tensions rise, so does the attraction neither man wants to admit. But when Edward gets offered a prestigious job back in Portland, Neil assumes the truth was there all along: Edward was never planning to stay.

Now Edward has to decide what matters more—the life that looks right on paper, or the one that feels like home.

Set in the chaotic, opinionated, coffee-fueled town of Dalton, Maine,
Bids, Blueprints & Bad Decisions is a warm, funny small-town M/M romantic comedy about public projects, private feelings, and the kind of bad decisions that might just build something lasting.

Perfect for readers who love:
small-town queer romance, opposites attract, competence as foreplay, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine-adjacent banter, found family, and a town that treats public comment like a contact sport.
