Double Feature

Abel Quintero has a partnership vote waiting in September, a career built on telling struggling businesses which stores to close, and eighteen years of distance from the Oregon town he swore he was done with. Then Dee dies, and he drives over the Santiam Pass expecting to sign some paperwork and be back on the highway by four.

Instead he learns that Dee left him half of the Bluebird Drive-In, in equal shares with the projectionist who has kept it running, Tamsin Vale. A drive-in on twenty-two acres is worth almost nothing as a drive-in and quite a lot as dirt, and a very good offer is already waiting for after closing night. But the Simplex projector has a temper, the snack bar runs on opinions, and the town of Calder remembers exactly who Abel used to be.

Double Feature is a warm, funny, closed-door small-town romance about second chances, found family, and deciding where home actually is. For readers who love slow-burn love stories, tight-knit communities, and an ending that feels like coming home.
