Talk of the Town Lucille Naroian

Samantha McCall might look like a hot and spicy romance author, but she writes murder mysteries as 'Sam' McCall. She dreads agreeing to appear last-minute on a popular nighttime TV talk show, knowing the host's reputation. Acid-tongued talk-show host Tony Garrett hates the mystery genre and despises the writers even more. Before seeing the author about to appear on stage with him, he maligns 'Mr.' McCall as a hack. When Samantha makes her entrance, she slaps him square on the jaw and storms off-stage. Their nationally televised feud skyrockets the show's ratings. Tony Garrett's heart is closely guarded, but he's uncontrollably smitten after his volatile encounter with the feisty redheaded writer. Samantha McCall wants nothing more to do with the caustic celebrity host after their embarrassing public rivalry. Can he convince her they belong together - and will she let him get close enough to try? Whatever these two do is sure to end up ... the talk of the town!
