relentless reporter chasing a story and the newspaper's sexy CFO.
Susan Collins always wanted to be a hard-hitting reporter, but
there's not much call for her talents in sleepy Glory, North

happen around town, Susan senses she could be on to the news story
of her dreams. Mark Tremayne has returned to Glory to take over as

attraction is in total alignment. Despite their arguments, the
indomitable redhead and the hot accountant are a sexual explosion
waiting to happen. And when it does, Glory had better watch out!
