The Wife Project is complete, and Don and Rosie are happily married and living in New York. But they're about to face a new challenge because -- surprise! -- Rosie is pregnant. Don sets about learning the protocols of becoming a father, but his unusual research style gets him into trouble with the law. Fortunately his best friend Gene is on hand to offer advice: he's left Claudia and moved in with Don and Rosie. As Don tries to schedule time for pregnancy research, getting Gene and Claudia to reconcile, servicing the industrial refrigeration unit that occupies half his apartment, helping Dave the Baseball Fan save his business, and staying on the right side of Lydia the social worker, he almost misses the biggest problem of all: he might lose Rosie when she needs him the most.
Don Tillman, trentanove anni, brillante professore di genetica, decide che è tempo di trovare una moglie. Così, con l'approccio scientifico con cui affronta ogni cosa, dà il via al Progetto moglie. Sedici pagine di questionario gli permetteranno di escludere le candidate inadatte: fumatrici, ritardatarie, schizzinose... Rosie Jarman è tutte queste cose. Ed è anche stranamente seducente, appassionata e intelligente. Ovviamente bocciata per il Progetto Moglie, al quale per altro non è interessata: infatti, vuole che Don, in quanto esperto di DNA, la aiuti a rintracciare il suo padre biologico. Mentre collaborano al Progetto padre, tra i due matura un rapporto improbabile, e Don sarà costretto ad affrontare la consapevolezza che, nonostante tutti gli sforzi scientifici, non si può trovare l'amore... perché è l'amore a trovarci.
