No founders. No investors. No one asking him what he's building. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDalton took that personally. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause Dalton is going to adopt you whether you agree or not-so you have two options: resist and become exhausted, or accept and get fed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt starts at The Ministry of Coffee, where the espresso is perfect, the pastries are smug, and the locals treat \"personal space\" like a cute suggestion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Maggie McGlynn schedules him for a sitdown with The Coven (without even having his number yet), Ravi watches like a man witnessing a plan lock into place, and Martha monitors hydration like she's running an invisible government. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMalik is outmatched. Socially. Spiritually. Possibly municipally. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd then there's Logan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLogan works at the clinic. He's quiet, steady, and carrying his own kind of exhaustion behind competence and a decaf order. He isn't offering romance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe's offering quiet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA trail behind the clinic. Empty mornings. A place Malik can breathe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's not a grand gesture. It's not a flirtation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd it might be the most dangerous thing Dalton has thrown at him yet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStartups, Sitdowns \u0026amp; Connections \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis a cozy, low-angst M\/M romantic comedy full of small-town chaos, found family, gentle caretaking, and a slow-burn love story that sneaks up on you-like Maggie with a clipboard and a plate of brownies you didn't agree to, but are somehow holding anyway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalton Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798244470482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Dalton Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171930513663,"sku":"9798244470482","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/startups-sitdowns-connections-dalton-douglas-9798244470482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
