Craig Thompson and Renee Richards were childhood friends;
Craig was her brother Bryant's best friend before Bryant died of leukemia when he was a teenager. Years later, when Craig needs a wife to claim
his inheritance, he decides to call up Renee. Since she was his best friend then, surely she'll help him out
now, right?

But Renee doesn't want to
get married because she's been scammed and used by an ex-boyfriend. She also has trust issues and other secrets to deal with. Craig talks her into marrying him, but there are troubles and struggles ahead. But as they get to know each other again, they begin to fall in love. (Genesis/INDIGO,
