The (Fake) Dating Game

Written by Timothy Janovsky

Narrated by Mark Sanderlin

Ready. Set. Faux.

Holden James picked the worst time to have a meltdown. His chance to audition for his favourite game show, Madcap Market, should have been a moment of triumph - a glorious, loving homage to his adored mum, who died six years ago. Instead, he's destroying the minibar in a grim Los Angeles hotel room...recently dumped, partnerless and sliding into misery.

But at least the hotel service is sublime. It even comes with an unfairly fit and sexy (smart-ass) concierge who arrives at the door with pizza, Monopoly and deliciously distracting forearms.

All Holden knows about Leo Min is that he's beautiful, unexpectedly sympathetic, and the chemistry between them is beyond. Maybe it's even enough to convince everyone, including the show's casting directors, that they're a real couple. All they'd have to do is crush the competition, win the huge cash prize, and all of Holden's problems - his broken heart, his buried grief, his complete lack of money and direction - will be fixed.

Of course, reality doesn't quite work out that way. But love is an entirely different game...
