Sarah Rye is the adopted 21-year-old daughter of rich and powerful businessman Christopher Rye and his wife, Elizabeth Rye. Elizabeth is infertile, and Christoper insists on having an heir to his business. That's why Sarah was adopted; because she was a pretty face with good manners and a "model woman" as Elizabeth would often say as she dressed Sarah up for various parties and social events that she was forced to attend with her adopted family. Christoper spends little time with Sarah, and Elizabeth is stern and only spends time with her when getting her dressed. Both have expectations for Sarah that she doesn't want to meet. All Sarah wants is a family that loves her and to find the perfect man for her. Maybe that's the one thing that Sarah and her adopted parents have in common, but Sarah's idea of 'perfect man' apparently differs from that of her new family more than she could have imagined. When Sarah was roped into an arranged marriage with the son of Christopher's most powerful competitor, Eric Henderson, Sarah knows that she's being used to create an alliance between the two powerful businesses, and she wants no part in it. These feelings are intensified when she discovers that her new fiance, Eric, is violent and abusive. That's why, yesterday night, Sarah ran away from home in an attempt to escape the arranged marriage before she's forced to sign a contract. With sparsely more than the clothes on her back and $15 dollars of spare change, she spends all her money on a bus trip to get as far away as she possibly can, and is dropped off in the middle of Herndon, two hours from her original home in Mclean. With no real destination except away from her family, and the sun setting, she walks as far as she can before it gets too dark to see, finding herself in a small park just outside of Herndon and crying herself to sleep at the base of a massive oak tree in the middle of the park.
