Forensic anthropologist, Decca, is no stranger to death. Between traveling all over the state of Tennessee to study skeletal remains, responding to mass casualty events with her team, and sitting in bedside vigils as a death doula in her "time off," she's run herself ragged in her attempt to avoid living her own life.

Putting in more hours meant not thinking about her love life. Or lack of one. Until now, it's been easy.

Her good friend, Gus, has just graduated from Greek Orthodox seminary and in order to be ordained as a priest, he must marry--or else serve as a monk.

Convincing herself it's purely out of the goodness of her heart, the ever-practical Decca proposes a marriage-of-convenience. He needs a wife; and she could definitely use someone to talk to (other than the 250-year-old skeleton she's piecing together on her dining room table.)

But, she didn't really think he'd say yes!

When the bride and groom start to catch feelings for each other, that could be the end of their cozy situation. But if they find the right framework--the bones of love--it could be their key to happiness.
