In the high-stakes world of competitive reality TV, loyalties will be put to the test and bridges will go up in flames. Welcome to the House of Deceit, where love is the ultimate wildcard. Recently single and unemployed, Charlie Price finds herself at a crossroads, desperate to pick up the pieces of her fractured life. With her savings dwindling and job prospects fading, she's on the brink of surrender. That is until a fateful, alcohol-fueled night with her best friend leads to an accidental application for the electrifying reality show, House of Deceit. Known for its cutthroat contestants and tantalizing cash prize, it's a gamble she never saw coming. Alec King, a disillusioned wrangler on the show, yearns to escape his stagnant career and fulfill his dreams of becoming a director. Handpicking the winner of Season Ten could be his ticket to success, and Charlie Price seems to be the man to beat. There's just one major hiccup—Charlie's application ends up in the wrong pile, and, given the show's strict rules, their grand plans are teetering on the edge of failure before they even get a chance to start. Nevertheless, Charlie and Alec soon discover that their best chance of winning the show may just be with each other, even if sparks fly at every turn. But when the cameras stop rolling, an unexpected romance takes them by surprise, thrusting them into the uncharted territory of hidden desires. Their love story was never in the script, yet it might just be the most thrilling twist of all.
