He came to Dalton to sell cretons.
He accidentally called the entire town cretins.

Étienne Eddie Leclair is a charming French-Canadian breakfast vendor with a cooler full of pork spread, a grin that works on most crowds, and exactly zero understanding of how one wrong word can start a small-town riot. Winterfest was supposed to be easy: set up, sell out, soak up the quaint Maine vibes, leave.

Then Quinn Hadley shows up.

Quinn is Dalton High's no-nonsense chemistry teacher-precise, sharp-witted, and professionally allergic to nonsense (especially the kind that gets people sick). After Eddie's public language disaster, Quinn steps in to save him... and proceeds to roast him with scientific accuracy.

Unfortunately, the more Quinn turns Eddie's stall into a controlled experiment-temperature logs, sanitation standards, scaling recipes without losing authenticity-the more their bickering starts to feel like flirting. And the more Eddie realizes Quinn's bluntness isn't cruelty... it's care.

As Winterfest chaos turns into late-night prep sessions, pun wars, and a town that absolutely refuses to let Eddie coast on confidence without competence, Eddie starts to want something he never planned for:

Belonging.

But when an opportunity pulls Eddie back toward Quebec, Quinn assumes he was always leaving-and Eddie has to decide if Dalton is just another stop... or the first place that feels like home.

Cretons, Cretins & Chemistry is a cozy, small-town M/M romantic comedy full of competence flirting, food festival chaos, found family vibes, and the kind of chemistry that's equal parts tender and volatile (in the best way).
