Love Under Lights

Tessa Mitchell is a sharp-tongued woman temporarily staying with her television-producer father. Beneath her rebellious exterior, she carries the weight of a fractured family history and lingering emotional walls that make genuine connection difficult. What begins as a short visit quickly becomes something far more complicated when she is assigned as personal assistant to Jude Stanton, the handsome bachelor at the centre of her father's latest reality dating show.

From their first charged encounter, a spark of reluctant attraction crackles between Tessa and Jude. Forced into close proximity, Tessa finds herself drawn to the man she once dismissed.

When circumstances place Tessa among the contestants, the simmering tension intensifies. Amid the staged dates and carefully manufactured romance of the competition, a genuine and passionate connection takes root. Mutual irritation and professional obligation slowly deepen into something intimate and increasingly difficult to ignore.

Even as cameras watch their every move and the other women compete for Jude's attention, Tessa must decide how much of herself she's willing to risk for a love that was never supposed to be real.
