Shops on Main #4
The Fanciest Shop on Main
She's desperate to save her dream of owning her own gallery.
Her ex is eager to help...as long as she agrees to one little thing.
Marriage.
Harmony Patton has worked for years to be in a position to buy out the art gallery she works at. She dreams of opening it up to local artists and maybe one day including her own pieces of photography, until one word from her boss ruins everything.
Now she's scrambling to pick up the pieces of her dreams while figuring out what to do with her life...until her ex offers her the chance of a lifetime and Harmony isn't sure she's in a position to say no.
Tripp Hoffman has spent all his time since dental school, traveling the world and giving back to those less fortunate. It's been a good life, but he's worn and tired and struggling to find the motivation to keep going. It isn't until his father becomes ill that Tripp realizes he has a new direction, one that gives him purpose, but also helps his parents.
Only Tripp's dad isn't so willing to step down from his position at the dental office, and certainly isn't willing to give it to his flighty son, no matter how sick he is.
When Tripp runs into his first love, the woman he never quite got over, a plan begins to form. It's a great plan. One that helps him and Harmony...the only problem is, she'll have to marry him to make it work.
Their individual dreams broke them up years ago...can a change in direction bring them back together?
You won't want to miss this sweet, fake-marriage, romance by USA Today Bestselling author, Laura Ann.
If you enjoy second chances, small town romance, wounded heroes and strong heroines, then you'll ADORE the "Shops on Main" series.
These interconnected standalones can be read in any order, but I recommend starting at #1 to avoid small spoilers.

He wanted to help the world. She just wanted him.
A sweet second chance story. Ten years ago, Tripp had left Harmony to travel to under developed areas of the world as a dentist. Harmony moved on working in an art gallery with the dream of one day having her own gallery. Now ten years later her boss is ready to sell but she doesn’t readily have the means to purchase it. As she sits staring at the ocean, Tripp suddenly appears and suggests that they get engaged. He had returned home to find his father ill. His plan is to become engaged and use that as leverage to get his father to retire as the doctor wants. In return he will give Harmony money to help with the purchase. But a sudden heart attack, announcement of a marriage, inability to get financing, and fears both hold onto, will their romance have any chance at all? I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

I love this small town series. The community is filled with wonderful characters who support one another as best they can. Harmony and Tripp were high school sweethearts and then Tripp left to be a dentist in third world countries to help others. When he returns home for a visit and his father has a heart attach, he comes up with a marriage of convenience with Harper and they both get something different than what they had planned. I'm excited to read Pearl's romance!

Tripp and Harmony reunite after years spent apart. A marriage of convenience to help both of them and Tripp’s Dad, who doesn’t trust Tripp, ends up very different than either of them could have imagined. A very HEA ending. I completely enjoyed reading this story and highly recommend it. I received a copy of the book for free and this is my own opinion about it.

great book
I loved Tripp and Harmony together. I really liked the history that had. They knew each other really well even after 10 years. I also liked how even though they were very different from each other they complemented each other and brought out the best in the other person. This is a sweet, heartwarming romance.

Harmony and Tripp were high school sweethearts that moved in different directions. Fate stepped in and brought them back together to try to give them everything they truly wanted.

Harmony and Tripp have a different perspective on how things ended between them. While a romance their story is also about finding out the truth regarding more than one relationship as well as finally seeing their own worth. Loved them as individuals and as a couple. This has been such a good series and. The author does such an amazing job of making me feel a part of their town and group of friends. Left me smiling.
