Nosiness, Nuzzling & Neighborly Advice: A Romantic Comedy

Ian Ward moved to Dalton for one reason: silence. He bought a house with a long driveway, a respectful number of trees, and enough distance from the road to qualify as a privacy policy. The plan was simple-unpack, exhale, and avoid human interaction for at least six business days. Dalton has other plans. Within minutes, Ian is ambushed by a welcome basket, interrogated for "emergency purposes," adopted by a feral gray cat with boundary issues, and introduced to his next-door neighbor: Micah Barton-warm, handy, relentlessly helpful, and dangerously good at showing up without pushing too hard. Micah flirts like it's a public service. Ian panics like it's a survival skill. Between unsolicited "neighborly advice," fix-it montages that turn into intimacy, snow-day soup deliveries, and a town that treats matchmaking like a community sport, Ian has to learn the hardest thing of all: boundaries aren't walls-they're instructions for how to stay. Because quiet isn't the absence of people. It's the presence of the right one. Nosiness, Nuzzling & Neighborly Advice is a cozy small-town M/M romantic comedy packed with found family, gentle caretaking, laugh-out-loud meddling, a cat named Pickles who chooses violence, and a happily-ever-after that arrives exactly when Ian stops running.
