Shes the reality TV villain everyone will love to hate. Hes the producer tasked with making it happen. What could go wrong A hilarious, heartfelt rom-com from Australias leading romance expert.

Reality TV producer Murray OConnell is used to being in control. Hes the showrunner for reality dating show Marry Me, Juliet, and that means hes the boss: he controls the cast, the crew and the story. Until Lily Fireball turns up.

Lily is everything viewers love to watch: shes feisty, dramatic, and not afraid to cause a stir. Her villain narrative on the show should be the cherry on top of the cake of Murrays perfect season, but what no one knows is that Murray already knows Lily. Not as Lily Fireball, but as Lily Ong: his former best friend.

Now Lily has thrust herself back into Murrays life, and into the most stressful season hes ever worked on. Why is she here What is her agenda And why cant Murray just concentrate on his job, instead of fighting to shield her from hateful viewers and keep her with him forever
