What happens when you move to the Adirondacks with your five kids? Apparently you marry your neighbor.

Maybe not everyone does that, but not everyone has my overbearing mother, a case manager from the state on their back, and a house that everyone is convinced is haunted.

No one thinks I can make it living in a small town with my five foster kids but I intend to prove I am not a fish out of water in the mountains of New York.

The only easy part? Finn Lowery, my neighbor, is completely on board with this sham of a marriage and joining our chaos crew.

He's showing up, carving pumpkins and dressing up for Halloween. It's just a few weeks of sharing a bed and playing house until the state is off my back. But lines blur and I realize I might be falling for my fake husband. Now I'm not sure I'll make it out of this arrangement with my heart intact.
