Our beloved Elvis Presley meets a pretty blonde girl over in Germany named Rachel, or "Rainie" Mott, right before he leaves to go home. He is thrown right into his career, and in the blink of an eye, he is in LA, starting on his next film G.I. Blues. While there on the set, he spots a familiar face--the girl who he met in Germany! Once the Colonel sees this young woman, he's shocked, and Elvis is even more so when she calls the Colonel "Dad." Elvis had no idea the Colonel had a daughter, and a rather beautiful one at that. And... he falls hard. But she wants nothing to do with him, at least on a romantic basis. So why is she staying close to him?
Rainie only wanted to get a glimpse of him while she was in Europe for school, to see the guy her father picked up at a carnival and wanted to make big, but only so he could make big money. Well, time to go back to the states. She knows how controlling and money-hungry her father is, and she knows of his gambling addiction, so she worries for Elvis. If her father treats him anything like he treated her growing up, pushing and pushing and doing anything, even fraud, to make a buck, Elvis is in trouble. Also... Rainie holds a secret, a secret that her father and mother made her swear not to tell a soul, mainly since it could land her father in prison.
Note: Colonel Parker didn't have any children as far as I know. This was just a fun idea.
