I lost fifty thousand dollars and thirty days of freedom in one hand of poker. The solution? Mountain Mates—my friend's dating app for "hard-to-love" men that I thought was complete bullshit. One bride, one fake marriage, one year to win the bet and save my land. Nell Chambers arrived with a systematic, foolproof, and wildly specific about exactly when we'd be "trying for a baby." She was smart, stunning, and completely wrong for my isolated mountain life. Perfect. Except my tech billionaire friend kept showing up to prove his app actually worked. Except she looked good in my flannel shirts. Except I forgot to mention the vasectomy, and she forgot to mention she was planning to divorce me the second she got pregnant. When two liars start a marriage with separate timelines, someone's plan is about to fall apart.
