DOWN AND OUT IN PITTSVIILE—Life was the pits for Julie Hart! Fired from her glitzy D.C. news anchor job for exposing the bedroom shenanigans of a too-influential senator, a downhearted Julie slunk home to Pittsville. With no job in sight—even Toledo shunned her—she reluctantly agreed to—cohost "Pittsville Patter" with local heartthrob Ben Sandler. Big mistake! On the set, sexy laid-back Ben soon had Julie's pulse racing. His folksy interview style clashed with her no-holds-barred approach. But they couldn't deny the chemistry between them. Chemistry that—off the set—threatened to burn out of control.
