Zac is in the States for three weeks visiting his best friend Adam, who is in the studio talking about his toy soldier hobby on another radio show.The on-air banter between Cassie and Zac is witty and sexually charged, even after Cassie realizes that Zac is not a sex therapist. Both of them are able to improvise, poke fun at each other and share interesting anecdotes, chatting as if they have known each other for years. The radio audience loves them and the talk show ratings go through the roof. Needless to say, Leon asks Zac to do some additional guest segments. Cassie and Zac's immediate chemistry transcends off the air as well.

In order for Steven to partake in Alicia's money, he has to make her Daddy happy and he will do anything to stay in his good graces.

About six months ago, Erin was in a very bad car accident that caused her mentality to alter. She became detached and unapproachable, and their relationship was unsustainable. She believes she wants Zac back, but after some necessary talking, she realizes they were not meant to be. Interestingly enough, Adam is actually in love with her.Night Talk by Maxine Sullivan is a fun and entertaining read.
