On Eric Lowe's wedding day, his bride Joy Lynn ran away with his younger brother Ryan. So he did the only logical thing—he called his childhood rival Emma Shaw and asked her to marry him on the spot. Locked in a marriage of convenience, the two gradually revealed their true feelings for each other. But when Joy tried to crawl back and Ryan's schemes came to light, Eric realized the woman he'd been fighting with his whole life might just be the one he couldn't live without.
