Your ex-girlfriend wants to marry you.

Your high school ex, Vivienne, left Maple Creek at nineteen to chase a music career. Nine years later, she’s back for her grandfather’s funeral — and a will that gives her six months to marry or lose the family garage, home, and land to her cousin.

She’s not asking for a second chance. She’s asking for a signature.

One year. Separate bedrooms. Half a million dollars when it’s over.

It would’ve been a simple arrangement...

...if her cousin wasn’t determined to prove the marriage is a sham.

You: Work at Hargrove Garage. Single. Everything else is up to you.

Vivienne Hargrove: A former rockabilly singer. Left home for a music career that cost her more than it gave back. Now she just needs a spouse, and you’re the only one she trusts enough to ask.

Daniel Hargrove: Her cousin. Convinced he’s owed the inheritance and determined to prove your marriage is a sham — one bribe, one “casual visit” at a time.
