Tobi Adeniran knows two things for sure: heartbreak is avoidable, and Wi-Fi is life. As TikTok's hottest relationship guru, she's built her empire on the "Love Algorithm," a foolproof formula for finding your soulmate until an angry ex-client goes viral, accusing her of being a fraud. Now, her sponsors are dropping her faster than bad Wi-Fi, and the only algorithm she's trending on is #CancelTobi. To save her career, Tobi agrees to a reality TV show where she must transform the ultimate lost cause into boyfriend material.

Emeka Okonkwo is a widowed single dad, suya chef, and romance's most reluctant contestant. His idea of love? Sharing his last piece of meat pie. His idea of hell? Tobi's neon outfits, endless pep talks, and a camera crew invading his restaurant, *Suya & Soul*. But when the show starts drawing customers to his struggling business, Emeka strikes a deal: he'll play along, but love? Not on the menu.

As Tobi drags Emeka through awkward speed dates, "romantic" cooking lessons, and one particularly disastrous salsa class, sparks fly in the worst way. But between Chiamaka, Emeka's precocious 7-year-old who has no filter, and Tobi's nosy TikTok audience, privacy is a myth. Just as Tobi starts to crack Emeka's tough exterior-and he starts to believe her algorithm might have a few good lines-a scandal from her past threatens to blow up their carefully staged romance.

In the battle between viral fame and real feelings, will Tobi and Emeka find their way to happily ever after, or are they doomed to become just another hashtag?

Deception  by Joyfavouromeni
18 parts Ongoing Mature
Deception Ellie Brown has it all-beauty, power, and a legacy built on diamonds. As the CEO of Diamond Glow, she is the epitome of strength and success, but beneath her flawless exterior lies a heart weighed down by secrets, betrayals, and a family that sees her as both an asset and a rival. Her own brother harbors a grudge so deep that he vows to take everything from her. Her mother, ever calculating, demands a marriage that Ellie refuses to entertain. And then there's the past-buried truths that threaten to unravel everything she's built. Ryan Adams is a man living in the shadows of grief. Six years ago, he lost his sister and the woman he loved in a single, tragic moment. His father never forgave him. He never forgave himself. Now, drawn into a business deal with Ellie, he finds himself face-to-face with a woman who challenges him, intrigues him-and reminds him of everything he swore he'd never want again. Neither of them believes in love. Neither of them trusts easily. But when fate forces them into each other's orbit, tangled in a web of corporate battles, hidden enemies, and forbidden emotions, the line between business and desire begins to blur. But deception lurks in the shadows. The past is never truly buried, and the deeper they fall, the more dangerous the truth becomes. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, can two scarred souls defy the odds-or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart?
