Super cute story of Annie, the baby of the family and the golden girl of li’l ole Rome, Kentucky, and “bad” boy, executive protection agent Will Griffin. Will get into town to protect Annie’s future sister in law (Amelia) just as Annie is coming off a bad first date, and they have a bit of an instant connection. Will is a secondary character from When in Rome, and it’s implied that he met Annie in passing in that story. When Amelia finds out about Annie’s failed date, she gets it in her head that Annie needs a dating coach and Will is the perfect candidate for the role. With the understanding that Will is looking to leave Rome as soon as his assignment’s up, and Annie looking for a walk down the aisle, the two start hanging out and the coaching begins. 

Enter a nosy bunch of neighbors (think of the crew from Stars Hollow) who all determine tatted up Will is a terrible fit for sweet florist Annie and a petition to split the two up, shenanigans from both Amelia and a feuding pair of busy body old ladies, and you’ve got the cutest rom com.
