He needs a wife. She needs a new name. It's a match made in practicality.

SALLY
What does a journalist do when they write the biggest story of their career - which also ends someone else's? Someone powerful? They get the hell out of Dodge. Or, in my case, New York City. The first job advert not in New York was the editor of a local paper in backwoods West Virginia. In another life, I would be drinking cocktails and laughing at whoever thought it sounded like a dream job. In this life? I start Monday.

ALAN
One hundred and fifty years. That's how long a Cummings has stood on this land and farmed it, and now I'm the idiot who lost it all. The only way I can save the farm is to unlock an inheritance and use the cash to pay out the loan I am in default of. But that would require a bride in thirty days, so it's never gonna happen. There's only one woman in town who would jump at the offer, and she was never an option.

When one person needs a fresh start - and a new name - and another needs a wife A.S.A.P., it's a match made in heaven... on paper. But when they meet, and sparks fly, they aren't the good kind. Can they deal well together to achieve their goals, or will they both lose everything, even each other?
