Spotlight for Megan — Marcia Miller

It was in Guadalajara, Mexico, that dark-haired Megan Collins first heard of Jeff Harrison. Senora Helene de Matos, Megan's hostess, painted a much-too-glowing picture of her nephew, and Megan immediately labeled the handsome blond Jeff as a playboy, a type she detested. Still, she couldn't let her dislike for Helene's nephew prevent her from accepting Jeff's offer of a letter of introduction to the manager of a television station in California where Jeff had formerly worked.

Rob Boyd, Jeff's replacement as station manager, and nephew of the station's owner, hired Megan without much urging and proceeded to tell her what a bad job Jeff Harrison had done at the station, while since he, Boyd, had taken over, the rating of the station had gone up.

Megan's chance to show what she could actually do on television came when Rob was ill for a few days and she stepped into his shoes on his interview program--Rob's Corner. But Rob's illness also necessitated the temporary return to the station of Jeff Harrison, a man for whom Megan had little respect and even less liking. It was annoying to find that her mother, on a visit from Hawaii, preferred Jeff to the man Megan was planning to marry.

Station politics--and the bitter rivalry of two men--make Spotlight for Megan a lively and exciting story of the world of television.
