The Weekend Girlfriend Part 7

Investment in Love.

Calvin Barnard is a hard-working New York stockbroker, focused entirely on his job. His life is simple until the day he gets a call from the lawyer of his late Great-Aunt Loretta. The great-aunt he barely knew has left him $10 million and a house in the tiny backwoods Oregon town of Carterville-but there's one condition. Before Calvin can get the money, he has three months to marry a girl from that same rural town. Suddenly, everything is complicated, as Calvin tries to figure out how his reclusive great-aunt had millions of dollars, what he's going to do with her old dusty mansion, and which small-town girl will be willing to marry him on short notice. Interior designer Ellie Parker looks like the perfect solution to his problems: She's beautiful, single, and available to fix up the old house. But when Calvin starts to feel more than sympathy for sweet Ellie, he'll have to decide between the inheritance of a lifetime or the love of the most enchanting woman he's ever met.
