After losing her husband on her first wedding anniversary, Sarah "Spooky" Walters is left pregnant with no job, still trying to get her PhD. When her mother suggests she contact Matchrimony to find herself a new husband so she can have some semblance of a good life, she agrees to meet with Dr. Lachele Simpson, the matchmaker involved.

Chase Appleby lost the only woman he'd ever loved to a man with a gun just before they'd finished college. Now, years later, he was ready for a wife, but the idea of dating someone else made him feel as if he was cheating on his former love. So he decides to meet a bride at the altar.

After marrying Spooky, he realizes his beautiful wife is almost seven months pregnant. So instead of simply becoming a husband, he is also now becoming a father. Will differences in how they think the baby should be raised cause too much friction between them? Or will they be able to work things out?
