Nova needs money. Her landlady is kicking her out of her home in order to put the land she's leasing on sale. But with a home full of rescued animals, Nova can't stand aside. She knows she has to do something. Is it fate that he appears at her doorstep one day? In need of a husband to claim a large inheritance from her late aunt, Nova is desperate—desperate enough to do something crazy, like asking a complete stranger to marry her for money. They're only supposed to be married for one year, and there's only one rule: don't fall in love. Nova is the first to admit that she's a rule-breaker...but only to herself. As the one-year deadline fast approaches, can Nova swallow her pride and grasp happiness? Or will she let him walk away?
