Jonathan and Jennifer first met by chance at the Hotel Ritz in London while Jennifer tried to get an interview with Jonathan. They went kite flying on their first date and then Jonathan proposed by unveiling a banner ("Would you marry me?") from the Tower Bridge in London. They soon married and honeymooned in the Napa Valley. Jonathan's gave Jennifer a gold bracelet on their first Christmas together. Before Jennifer, Jonathan dated the beautiful Nikki Stefunos.

In 1994 Jennifer inherited the coastal town of Kingman's Ferry. Jennifer had done her early training as a writer at their local newspaper. When she visited her old workplace she rediscovered the etched letters J.E. and C.B. [a former boyfriend] still carved into the desktop. Later in the week, Jonathan offered Jennifer an entire wooden-covered bridge as a sign of his love. Legend had it that if two lovers kissed on the bridge at sunrise then they would be destined to be together forever. The bridge was falling apart until Jonathan hired a local carpenter to rebuild it for his Jennifer. This type of romantic gesture helped keep the Hart's love life vibrant and alive.

When not attending fancy parties and traveling around the globe to exotic romantic vacation spots, Jonathan and Jennifer enjoy being amateur sleuths. [“Their hobby is murder”].

The Hart’s share their home with Max, Jonathan’s gravelly-voiced, cigar-smoking old friend who acts as the family’s live-in housekeeper and chauffeur; and Freeway, their scruffy little dog [an unclipped Löwchen breed they found lost on the freeway]. "Get off the couch!" was a common remark yelled by Max who cared for Freeway most of the time. The Hart’s drive around town in a number of expensive cars including a rare 1956 Bentley Convertible; a yellow 1979 Mercedes Benz 450 SL with a chocolate interior; a yellow 1983 Mercedes Benz 380 SL Convertible with black interior; a silver Aston Martin Volante Convertible with black top and interior; and the family’s 1979 Mercedes Benz 300 TD Wagon which Max drove.

Years before Jonathan was a wealthy man, he was a orphan and in trouble with the law. Max rescued Jonathan from a troubled life after high school and arranged to send Jonathan to college. He even gave him a black 1950 Ford convertible to drive to his new school. When Jonathan proved his abilities as a shrewd businessman, Max moved in with Jonathan as his housekeeper. But never forget that Max is more that just a chauffeur and housekeeper - he is an integral part of the family. When Jonathan married Jennifer, Max was the best man. He calls Jennifer "Mrs. H."
