🏡 A Small-Town Fake Dating Second Chance Romance

She came back to sell the cottage. She didn't plan to stay. She definitely didn't plan on him.

A fake relationship. A town that never forgot. And five years of silence that had nothing to do with not caring.

Charlotte Whitaker came back to Riverside to fix her grandmother's cottage and leave. Three months, a sale sign, and one clean exit back to New York. She did not come back to become the face of a small-town revival story, and she absolutely did not come back for Henry Caldwell.

Henry is exactly where she left him: steady, capable, and standing behind the counter of the hardware store his family has run for generations. He voted against her five years ago in a room full of people who were watching. She left without asking why. Neither of them has talked about it since.

But Riverside is struggling, and a regional magazine feature could mean grant funding that saves the businesses Charlotte grew up loving. When the town assumes she and Henry are back together, neither of them corrects it. The story is good for Riverside. The fake relationship is temporary. The feelings are supposed to be, too.

Except Henry keeps showing up with coffee and a toolbox. And Charlotte keeps forgetting she's leaving.

Set in a quaint New England river town where the whole community has an opinion, Back to Main Street is a slow-burn fake dating romance where the porch swing gets rebuilt along with everything else, and the truth that finally surfaces changes everything Charlotte thought she understood about the man she never stopped loving.

Perfect for readers who love: found community, a quietly protective hero, a heroine who chooses to stay, and a romance built on honesty rather than fireworks.

The AI narration in this one was surprisingly good and not distracting from the story. Quaint story and setting.
