Parker Wynn is a location manager with a plan, a schedule, and absolutely no patience for small-town complications.
Dalton, Maine, has all three anyway.
He arrives expecting to scout quickly, secure permits, and keep a demanding production on track. Instead, he runs straight into Tate Wilder-the town's calm, maddeningly competent permit and logistics fixer-who has no intention of letting Parker turn Dalton into a cinematic inconvenience.
Tate says no with unnerving precision.
Parker hears challenge in every syllable.
What starts as a battle over locations, access, and control becomes something far more dangerous: trust.
As filming pressure mounts, Parker is forced to work with the one man who refuses to be charmed, rushed, or steamrolled. And the more he sees of Tate-his steadiness, his care for the town, the quiet way he holds everything together-the harder it becomes to pretend this is just another job.
But Parker doesn't know how to stay present when work gets messy. Tate doesn't trust people who only belong somewhere temporarily. And when the production threatens to pull out, Parker has to decide whether Dalton is just another stop on the schedule-or the first place that's ever made him want to do things differently.
Set in a town full of routines, opinions, and people who absolutely will involve themselves, Rough Cuts, Reshoots & Romance is a cozy contemporary M/M romantic comedy about control, competence, community, and falling for the one man who keeps saying no for all the right reasons.
