I have a bunch of entries with a Hx followed by the rest of the chapter title in <p> tags

Code:

<h1>Chapter 1:*</h1>
<p>The Title</p>

What I'd like is

Code:

<h1>Chapter 1: The Title</h1>

My Find was *</h1>\s*<p>(.*?)</p>

My Replace was \1</h1>

but instead of just the text up to the first </p>, all the text is selected

What am I doing wrong?
