Dalton Drafts Purpose, Passion & Prolific Prose: A Romantic Comedy, Book 4, (Paperback)

Grant Larkin is a literary darling with a polished voice, a carefully curated reputation, and a private problem he refuses to name: success still feels empty. <p>When a weeklong residency at the Dalton Writers Retreat forces him into close quarters with enthusiastic writers, relentless community warmth, and the last thing he wants-feelings-Grant plans to keep his distance, do his work, and leave with his brand intact. </p><p>Then he meets Clark Long. </p><p>Clark is a high school counselor with steady calm, sharp insight, and absolutely no interest in being impressed. He sees through Grant's performance in one conversation-and instead of praising him, he challenges him to write something real. </p><p>Grant didn't come to Dalton to unravel. He came to finish a book. </p><p>But as Clark keeps showing up-quiet walks, uncomfortable honesty, and a presence Grant can't outthink-Grant begins to realize he's been writing to be admired, not known. And the moment he lets himself be seen, the world pushes back. </p><p>With his ego bruised and his career on the line, Grant has a choice: return to the safe, elevated distance that made him famous... or risk authenticity, connection, and the kind of love that doesn't require a performance. </p><p>In Dalton, the coffee is strong, the found family meddles with purpose, and sometimes the bravest thing a man can do is stop pretending he's fine. </p><p><i><b>Purpose, Passion &amp; Prolific Prose</b></i> is a warm, funny, emotionally tender M/M romantic comedy about performance versus authenticity, finding your real voice, and the person who stays long enough to hear it.</p>
