Pandora McVie faces an impossible choice. Uncle Jolley has left her a fortune, but claiming it requires six months of cohabitation with Michael Donahue in an isolated Catskills house. Michael is her distant relative, undeniably attractive, and absolutely insufferable. The inheritance terms feel worse than any lottery curse. Michael finds himself equally trapped by Jolley's posthumous matchmaking scheme. He has no desire to share close quarters with his red-haired, sharp-tongued cousin. Both beneficiaries recognize they're caught in their uncle's elaborate romantic trap. Jolley planned this arrangement as his final act of meddling from beyond the grave. Six months stretches ahead like an eternity of forced proximity and mounting tension. Michael knows almost anything could happen during their mandated time together. The question becomes whether they can survive each other long enough to claim their inheritance, or if Uncle Jolley's matchmaking will succeed despite their mutual resistance.
