Motivated in Missouri by Kirsten Osbourne

Melanie Carter has run her own business since she was eighteen years old. She works seventy house weeks and finds she has no time for life, much less dating. When her best friend suggests she contact Dr. Lachele Simpson and Matchrimony, she jumps at the chance, feeling that if she is matched with someone and they meet at the altar, perhaps her life will change for the better.
Lucas Barnett has lost the love of his life. For two years, he’s walked around New York, seeing the places they went on their dates and the memories are constantly flooding back. He makes the decision to see a counselor and start planning to start over. When he goes to see Dr. Lachele, she suggests he use Matchrimony to find a wife and start his new life.

Everything goes well when Melanie and Lucas meet at the altar. The only problem is that Melanie is still so wrapped up in her business she has no time for a husband.

Will the two of them find a way to compromise so they can live and work together? Or will they separate after their year contract is up?
