Eleanor Hayes never expected to become an actress.
At twenty-one, she's just finished a Biology degree, moved back in with her parents and is desperately applying for graduate jobs when an email arrives about an audition she'd almost completely forgotten about.
Months earlier, on a whim, Ellie had propped her phone against her uni desk and submitted a self-tape for the television adaptation of All the Wrong Reasons - one of her favourite romance books. No agent. No training. No experience. Just a character she understood a little too well.
Then she gets the part.
Opposite Finley Dawson.
Finn is twenty-two, slightly more experienced, and just as unprepared for what comes next. Their chemistry is instant on camera, easy off it, and before long they're playing out one of television's most addictive love stories while trying very hard not to blur the line between acting and reality.
When All the Wrong Reasons becomes an overnight phenomenon, fans become obsessed with Maddie and Logan - and even more obsessed with the two actors playing them.
Ellie and Finn insist they're only friends.
For a while, they're even telling the truth.
But when season two brings them back together, with more intimate scenes, more attention and feelings neither of them managed to leave behind, pretending might become the hardest role either of them has ever had to play.
They played lovers first. Everything after that was off script.
