Love Unscripted: A Marriage of Convenience, Reality TV, Sweet Romcom

She wanted a news story on the star basketball player.

He needed a reality show bride.

TRINA

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my scathing article on star basketball player, Liam Ashley, would get me roped into this role on the reality show "Bride At First Sight." How dare he pick me for his bride! I was undercover for a story. Not even a real contestant.

My boss loved the idea of me entering the show. He and the producers showered me with promises of a promotion and money, and now that I'm married to Liam, I'm wondering if the torture is worth even that. Liam's melting like a lovesick puppy. All my plans to make him wish he'd never laid eyes on me are swirling down the toilet. Please tell me it's an act for our nightmarish life around cameras, and he's not really falling for me. I can take the trials and drama caused by the TV show producers, but these weird moments of connection between us? I want out, and three months can't pass by fast enough.

LIAM

Across a ballroom of ladies, I spotted the reporter who'd brought my reputation into question and turned my agent's focus toward this humiliation of an excuse for PR. My mission became clear: pick Trina, prove her wrong, and get her to rewrite her blistering news piece.

But after I dos, her intense wife-glares oddly fuel my desire. Our camera-bound kisses progress beyond tactics and become as complex as a grandma's puzzle. Against my vow and better judgment, I'm falling for her. As the clock ticks down the months, days, and hours left of our life on the air, I need a game plan to prove I'm not just playing, I'm all in. How can I convince Trina to stay?
