Faking It with the Coach Next Door: A Sweet Second Chance Romance

We’re faking it for the town… but my heart doesn’t know the difference.
I never planned on moving back to Magnolia. But when my parents needed me, I traded city life for a second-grade classroom… and came face-to-face with the boy I once loved.
Jake Maddox—former star quarterback, now assistant coach at Magnolia High— happens to be my next-door neighbor.
One grocery store run, a Friday Night Lights Committee assignment, and a “fake dating” arrangement to keep Austin Whitaker—our high school nemesis—from stirring up trouble, and we’re tangled up in moments that feel a little too real.
He cheers me on when I doubt myself. He’s there when my family needs him. And he looks at me like I’m still the only girl in the room.
Then I find out he was offered the head coach job of his dreams. Does he choose the leave again, or stay.
Somewhere along the way, I stopped wondering if Jake still loved me… And started realizing I never stopped loving him.
