Description: Carly Barnett's dream is to be a journalist, and the Oregonian Times seems like an ideal place to start, until she learns what she'll be doing: writing an advice column for lonely hearts. Reporter Mark Holbrook doesn't think much of her column, but he can't deny the attraction he feels for her. And he refuses to take her advice, even if she holds the key to unlocking his own lonely heart.
