Easements, Espresso & Emotional Support: A Romantic Comedy

Rob Kline knows exactly where he stands. On his family's driveway. On the land his father protected. In the middle of a quiet easement dispute that suddenly doesn't feel quiet at all. When questions about access to Rob's house turn into paperwork, pressure, and rumors, the last person he wants showing up with survey equipment is a man from away with clean boots, careful hands, and a maddening commitment to fairness. Beckham Lane is a professional surveyor, not a troublemaker. He's in Dalton to document the truth, not get tangled up in small-town politics, coffee-shop public comment sessions, or the fiercely protective handyman whose entire life could be narrowed by one bad decision on paper. But the more time Rob and Beckham spend measuring old lines, uncovering buried records, and trying to stop money from rewriting reality, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. Rob thinks Beckham will side with whoever has the deepest pockets. Beckham thinks Rob hates him on sight. The town, meanwhile, has opinions, pastries, and absolutely no respect for emotional privacy. As the legal pressure builds and the rumors get uglier, Rob and Beckham will have to decide what matters more: staying guarded, or trusting that some things are worth fighting for. Because in Dalton, love doesn't always arrive gently. Sometimes it shows up with a tripod, a latte, and a very inconvenient sense of integrity. Easements, Espresso & Emotional Support is a warm, funny, small-town M/M romantic comedy featuring stubborn men, community meddling, coffee-shop chaos, competence as foreplay, and a hard-won happily ever after.
