ed single-mom Allie. The only bright light in her life is her son, four-year-old Caleb, who's now healthy after a lifetime of being chronically ill. She finally feels like she can breathe again. Until she's unexpectedly fired from her job. On top of that, Caleb's previously absent father decides he wants to fight Allie for custody. And if she can't prove she can support herself, he might just win custody of Caleb. Based in San Diego, with her only support system in Freedom Valley, New Hampshire, Allie needs to find a way to move herself and Caleb across the country to their family inn.

Enter Logan Nolan, a handsome, successful literary agent. The best friend of her brother's fiance, Beth, Logan comes from an extremely wealthy, not-so-great family in Canada that he's estranged from. When Beth begs him to help bring Allie and Caleb home, he can't say no.

After an awkward start, they embark on an epic cross-country road trip in a moving truck, where they become fast friends and realize they each have something to offer the other. A marriage of convenience that could never be real for one of them.

Once the shock of their spontaneous marriage wears off with the family, Allie and Logan settle into a new life in Freedom Valley. Allie, who's always been a passionate baker, starts her own business, and Logan learns how to balance a busy career and the new family they're pretending to be.

Logan never saw himself as a family man, but as he spends more time with Allie and Caleb and gets to know them better, he wonders if his resistance to being a parent before has anything to do with poor role models and that maybe having a family of his own is something he might actually desire after all. As for Allie, she's always gotten by on her own, but with Logan around, she's starting to realize maybe this make-believe temporary life she's building with this new friend is something she may want to be permanent, especially as Caleb's father's efforts to take his son intensify.

Will Allie and Logan realize and give in to their true feelings for each other and let love carry them through?
