After teacher Ryan Morgan catches his boyfriend Ethan cheating with Chloe, a storm leaves him face-to-face with Adrian Cross, a stranger who has just walked away from the Sterling fortune rather than marry Olivia Prescott. Ryan offers him shelter, then a job pretending to be his boyfriend; within days, family pressure turns the bargain into a six-month legal marriage. As Adrian works ordinary jobs and falls for Ryan, his famous face, restored fortune and arranged fiancée close in on the secret. The supplied 73-episode arc ends when Olivia finds his restaurant and learns that the missing heir has a husband.
