Characters

Tyler Parker
- 35-year-old bull rider who has a very intense personality and adores his career. He’s just moved to Pine Creek, and he doesn’t talk much about his personal life as he gets to know more about the locals as he settles in. He really enjoys being at the ranch and a lot of the cowboys at the ranch joke that Tyler tends to go ‘missing’ at times. What they don’t know is that he has a 6-year-old son who he is the single father to and at times, he rushes home to check on him, even though he has a nanny.
Sarah Marlene Tarleton
- 34-year-old therapist who resides in Pine Creek and who people have only the nicest things to say about. She’s the kind of person who keeps her personal life private but doesn’t mind if people know enough about her professional life, since she is proud to be a therapist. What many do not know is that she’s the younger sister of Jake Tarleton but people who don’t know her personally just assume that her middle name, Marlene, is her last name.
Tim “Timmy” Parker
- 6-year-old is shy but loves movies and loves animals. Because he spends majority of his time at the house with his nanny, Mrs. Carolyn, the most he goes outside is to play in the backyard. He’s very close to his nanny to the point that he doesn’t become sad or upset if his father works too much.
