Tropes: Workplace romance Enemies to lovers Forced proximity Reality TV show Caribbean island setting

Lights. Camera...Showmance!

From the moment Cleo met Lockie, her infuriatingly charming co-casting producer on hit reality show Welcome to Singledom, he s been getting under her skin. Their job? Casting singles for the ultimate island romance. Their problem? They can t agree on anything.

Now, the cameras are ready to roll, and the contestants well, most of them are en route. But when the threat of a tropical storm delays half the cast, launch night turns into a total disaster. With no Plan B, Cleo and Lockie are forced to step in as contestants. Just for 24 hours until the real stars arrive.

Simple, right? Except tensions are sky-high and sparks are flying for all the wrong reasons! All they have to do is couple-up and get voted off - but there s a storm coming, so leaving the island might not be so easy. Cleo s used to pulling strings behind the scenes, not falling headfirst into the drama.

But when the cameras stop rolling, will their fake fling fade with the credits or could it be Cleo s most unexpected plot twist yet?

Escape to paradise with a laugh-out-loud, gorgeous forced proximity with your rival romance from MILLION-COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh
