Annie Bennett had always had a steady supply of suitors, but much to her parents' dismay, no one had ever captured her heart -- not even the man she'd once almost married.

But when she came up against the forceful new editor of her hometown newspaper in Wales, Annie knew she'd met the son-in-law of her parents' dreams. And she was afraid she'd met her match.

It came as a crushing blow for Annie to realize she'd been waiting for Adam Corbett all her life, although he refused to take her seriously.
