Their rivalry is instant: trash talk, one-upmanship, and \"I could do that faster\" nonsense that the entire town treats like live entertainment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Dalton pairs them for the main event, the rules change. The final challenge isn't about speed or strength-it's about trust. And when a harmless-but-dramatic moment underground forces Rory to face the one thing he can't out-train, Caleb is there with steady hands, quiet patience, and a warmth Rory didn't know he needed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetween headlamps, knot-tying showdowns, matchmaking \"data,\" and post-adventure cuddles that become suspiciously hard to stop, Rory and Caleb discover the real victory isn't beating each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's choosing each other-especially when the whole town is watching. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaving, Cuddles \u0026amp; Competition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a funny, tender small-town M\/M romantic comedy packed with rivalry-to-romance tension, competence chemistry, found family chaos, and a happily-ever-after that doesn't require anyone to earn love by winning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalton Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798248439966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Dalton Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49172201275647,"sku":"9798248439966","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caving-cuddles-competition-dalton-douglas-9798248439966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
