Love on Air

Two TV newscasters find common ground in their pursuit of the story. But their methods for coping with horrific news collide during a shooting at Navy Pier. Diamond Crandall anchors his own cable news show, The Diamond Report and is resented by some for his age and lack of experience. But he's proven himself as a solid journalist, and most of his colleagues respect him. When Hope Colson shows up to vie for a seat next to him as co-host, he balks, until he sees her in action. The producer of his show, Jane, only cares about ratings, not standards. When Jane admits she's hiring Hope, not for her standards or talent, but because she's black, Diamond is taken aback and unsure if he should tell Hope or not. But one of Diamond's colleagues—one who's still resentful of Diamond's ascent at the network—tells Hope that it is Diamond who wanted a black woman hired for diversity's sake. What had started as a promising professional, and perhaps personal, relationship deteriorates into the two of them barely speaking. It doesn't help that the rest of the Crandall family has fallen in love with Hope, and even Senator Nolan Crandall, gives Hope an exclusive interview, which rankles Diamond especially since Hope has been giving him the cold shoulder treatment. When Hope panics during a shooting at Navy Pier in Chicago, Diamond advises her to get help. It's only when Diamond sees a family collapse that he goes into his own form of PTSD. They both reveal the past tragedies that refuse to heal since both have refused to talk about them. From Chicago to D.C. and the halls of Congress, the two journalists appear on the air together, but when the lights go off and they face each other, the truths long hidden will determine if the chemistry on the air translates to real life. Love on Air is the fourth novel in the Rivals in Love sweet Chicago family saga romance series. Rivals in Love showcases the Crandall family siblings who are all in successful careers. But they forgot one thing while becoming rising stars. They forgot all about love. Their father, a U.S. Senator, aspires for high office, but their mother, the heir to a fortune, only wants her children married and with children.
