Synopsis

Nate had found love with his first wife before she died, but now that a few years have passed, the pressure to "get back out there" and "be happy" is mounting. To help ease the worries of his family, he decides to get married again. He only has one rule: do not expect love from him. Melody has been mostly on her own since she lost her parents years ago, so when she comes across an ad labeled "Wife Wanted", she decides to take a chance. As crazy as it sounds, she can't help but be drawn to Nate. Their physical chemistry certainly doesn't hurt. Now she just has to keep her heart in check, but the deeper they go, the more her walls threaten to crumble. Can they keep each other at arm's length while convincing everyone else that they're in love? Please check the content warning for potential triggers.
