Mindy has a great many goals for herself as her job as secretary at the Coral Courier to Russell Denton is only the start to her dreams of a career in journalism. The only daughter of Judge Paula Carmichael, Mindy grew up spending most of her time fending for herself, thus making her the fiesty, independent woman she is today. Mindy's heart was broken when she discovered that her high school sweetheart was gay. Having been unsuccessful in relationships after that one ended, Mindy finds herself a romantic at heart wishing that love would come her way. Lately she's had a bad run of luck, but now that she's thinking about giving Hunt a second try, will real love finally be in the cards for her or will Guy's mother Brooke find a way to ruin that as well?
