"Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) and Mary Mouser (Cobra Kai) star in this swoon-worthy, full-cast rom-com! When two super-fans of a beloved dating gameshow hear that it's being rebooted, they decide to team up and fake a marriage to compete in the hilarious new audiobook Know Your Newlywed, written by Heather Taylor and Hillary Nussbaum, and executive produced by New York Times bestselling author Elena Armas. Cleo is a researcher with big dreams of a PhD in anthrozoology, and a guilty pleasure obsession with Know Your Newlywed, a decades-old gameshow where married couples compete by answering obscure questions about each other. She's more invested in her career than in finding a relationship of her own, though—that is, until she comes across Javi's dating app profile, which says he's "looking for someone to win Know Your Newlywed with." Sparks fly, and when Cleo and Javi catch wind of a reboot of their beloved show, they apply on a whim, pretending to be newlyweds themselves. Before they know it, they're cast as contestants, playing the part of smitten married couple better than they could've imagined. Their very real chemistry is impossible to ignore, and as the competition heats up, they quickly become America's sweethearts. But how far can Cleo and Javi take their secret? And as they inch closer and closer to a life-changing cash prize, will the mounting pressure and their individual ambitions get in the way of their blossoming romance? Or is their connection strong enough to last once the cameras stop rolling?"

Together, Benjamin and Kate create and rule over a Manhattan dynasty of which their children each bear their own unique scars. Elizabeth has been trying to keep the family together since she was ten years old, hoping to convince everyone they have more in common than just their fortune.

However, Kate's plan to fix the family will involve more than just a family trip to the sea. As the hidden secrets and quiet betrayals built up over thirty years begin to ripple and crash like the ocean surrounding the sinking family, Elizabeth not only faces each of her sibling's personal inflection points—moments that could lead to reconciliation or ruin—but she has to face her own demons that have laid dormant.
