Elliot Whitmore has no babysitter, four kids, and a crop to plant and harvest. When every single girl in town says no to babysitting, he enters the lottery and chooses the one woman who will treat his kids like her own, Elise Mayhew.
Elise Mayhew is finally lottery age. So she enters the lottery for a husband, not a babysitting job. The problem is that she really likes Elliot’s kids, even if Elliot is somewhat of a disappointment. But when he tells her she’s unfit to be around kids and the town starts calling her the wicked stepmother, she’s had enough.
A woman running away from a broken heart. A husband and four kids trying to get her back. This is going to be one rocky courtship.
