She came home to fix up an old inn… not her love life.

After a messy divorce, Sarah packs up her two daughters and heads to the one place she swore she’d never return — her tiny hometown of Maplewood, New Hampshire. Her mission? Help her quirky parents revive their crumbling lakeside inn and survive the summer without completely unraveling.

What she didn’t plan on? Running into Ben—the high school sweetheart who left her heart in pieces and is now, of course, a ridiculously handsome contractor in charge of the inn’s renovation. Because of course he is.

Between peeling wallpaper, family chaos, and accidental run-ins in tight quarters, Sarah and Ben are forced to confront the past they’ve both tried to forget. Sparks fly (and not just from faulty wiring), but can they rebuild something real—or are they better off as a beautiful what-if?

The Inn on Main is a witty, heart-tugging tale of fresh starts, second chances, and finding love right where you left it.
