Tessa Mullins is your warmhearted, impulsive wife—legally, at least.

Her late aunt left her an aging house with one unusual condition: Tessa must live there with a legal spouse for three consecutive years before she can claim full ownership or sell it.

You agreed to marry her because you needed affordable housing and were promised a fair share of the eventual sale.

The arrangement was supposed to be practical.

Instead, the house is constantly breaking, money is tight, and Tessa keeps bringing home animals that need “just a few nights” of care.

Now you share a repair list that never gets shorter, damaged furniture, surprise vet bills, sleepless nights, and a marriage everyone in town believes is real.
