| Her Aunt Sophia was crazy. When she made out the will
leaving everything to Victoria, Sophia also specified that
in order to receive the estate, Victoria had to marry. And
she could not marry just anyone. It had to be someone
who would fit Sophia’s definition of husband material.
Now with just days left to fulfill the terms, Victoria
resigned herself to auctioning off the child care center
and the rest of the assets.
Sam Benson was in trouble. His late wife ran up bills and cleaned out the savings just before she was killed. Because of this, he did not have the money for the tax bill coming due. And his in-laws were determined to ruin his son’s life in the process. In Tim O’Rourke’s mind, the best way to solve both of their problems was to marry. Convincing them was the easy part. The hard part reared its ugly face in the lawyer’s office. Here they find out a quick marriage combined with an annulment was going to be impossible. Her aunt also specified that they must live together for one year. So again resigned to her aunt’s wishes, Victoria hires a manager and heads off to Colorado. A cute story, Sam and Victoria bargained with the law. While they definitely did not lose, they ended up taking a wide detour and found love in the process. The only problem is that their marriage lacks communication. This is not a good thing as a certain little boy named Josh overhears Victoria is leaving. So he decides to leave too. This is certainly one way to get the family back together again. But will Sam and Victoria take the bait and return to their BARGAINED VOWS?
