Genre: contemporary romance (possible series in the world)

Summary: Maeve Fletcher met Jamie Abbot a week before her wedding at a small bar in her hometown of Pembrook, MI. While Maeve’s fiancé has given her permission (and she thinks so he can go have sex with someone else) to have fun before the big day, Maeve knows if she and Jamie get together, her whole life will be upended.

Ten years later, Maeve finds out Dylan, her husband, has been cheating on her for years, so she goes home to Pembrook to lick her wounds. Her best friend, Charly, convinces Maeve to have a one-night stand. Maeve hesitantly agrees, and the first person she swipes right on? Jamie.

Tropes: He falls first, age gap (she’s older), small town romance, fish out of water (she’s city; he’s country), return to hometown, wounded heroine, plus size love, slow burn
