Je tu nová Bridget Jonesová a jmenuje se Anna! Anna Blytheová si na svůj život nemůže stěžovat. Má skvělou práci v redakci časopisu, úžasnou nejlepší kamarádku a právě se jí podařilo sehnat nakladatele pro svoji knižní prvotinu. Potíž je v tom, že si neustále vybírá nevhodné muže. Brzy poté, co se jí zhroutí další vztah, najde Anna vizitku společnosti, jež má stejné jméno jako ona a kterou považuje za seznamku. Ze zvědavosti a pro tu shodu jmen si ji ponechá. A když jí pak nejlepší kamarádka oznámí, že se právě zasnoubila, rozhodne se z jakéhosi pocitu žárlivosti a vzdoru tu tajemnou agenturu vyzkoušet. Jenže ji čeká pořádný šok – nejde totiž o obyčejnou seznamku, ale o kancelář nabízející exkluzivní (a taky pořádně drahé) zprostředkování sňatků... O něco později se Anna ocitne v luxusním mexickém letovisku, kde se během pouhých dvou dní seznámí s Jackem, mužem, kterého jí vybrali, a provdá se za něj. A navzdory všemu očekávání to funguje! Alespoň do chvíle, než novopečená manželka odhalí, že ani Jack, ani agentura nejsou tím, čím se zdáli.
