Adam left home after graduation. He became a very star studded rodeo star. He had quite the collection of trophies in his case at home. His dad died of cancer before he was a teenager. His parents were deeply in love. However, raising three boys on a big ranch while being a teacher & trying to pay for medical bills. Of course, the house still had a mortgage too. When she remarried they blended two families. Adam had 5 brothers & 2 sisters when everything was said & done. Unfortunately, he didn't like his stepfather very much. He respected him but in Adam's eyes he didn't love his mother. It was no wonder Adam took off as soon as he could. Adam's family was raised in a Christian church & his stepfather wasn't a believer but he took his kids to church & basically used it as free babysitting while he went out for breakfast with his guy friends. Adam had rededicated his life to Christ after fame & some bad relationships had convicted himself & his best friends.
Riley comes from a mysterious background. She too is a believer with parents who have a weird relationship dynamic. They argue like crazy yet stay together. Her parents are politicians who are all about parties & putting on an act for the outside world. It's no wonder her sister & her have a history of horrible relationships to show that they learned from their parents relationship. Riley is fleeing an engagement from a horrible man who was using her for her father. She hitchhiked from Texas to Montana trying to see if she could stay with her sister. Only the last guy she caught a ride with expected something in return & wasn't taking no for an answer. If she hadn't run into Adam & begged him to pretend to be her girlfriend she wouldn't have gotten rid of him.
Adam was on his way home to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. He had Riley eat dinner with him. Then the decided it would help him get his mom & dad's property back from his stepfather if he had a fake fiancee. He struck up a deal with Riley and then they went home. For Riley it was great a place to lay low, room & board, on top of a lump sum from Adam and a big diamond ring. The rest of the story is them trying to lie to everyone without getting caught. And the whole time they are doing all this for selfish reasons. Neither one of them had thought to pray about what they were doing or look at it from God's eyes. Shoot even looking at it from someone else's eyes would have helped. But what happens when one of them starts to have feelings for the other?
