Up for the same once-in-a-lifetime promotion, business-driven Ella and her office rival Joey find that fighting their desires may be even harder than securing a workplace win.

Season 1 of Southgate Empire.

***

Ella Williams is certain she's hit the business jackpot when she's accepted into a competition for a prestigious work promotion. But when her friend-of-a-friend nemesis Joseph Southgate gets the same opportunity, Ella's chances fall under threat. Joey's a dangerous contender, and Ella will stop at nothing to secure her victory - even if she has to battle temptation at every turn.

When Ella faces unexpected hurdles in her personal life, she finds herself forced to accept help from the enemy himself. As if working in the same building as Joey wasn't bad enough, she's now sharing his roof. Sparks fly with only a wall between them-but does Joey really want her heart, or does he just want in her head?

Forced to face her growing feelings for her rival, Ella must decide what's more important to her- the job she's spent her entire adult life dreaming of, or the man she can't seem to resist.

***

It's like a blanket's been lifted from over my eyes. This is Joseph Southgate. He's not just a man. He's my nemesis. We're going for the same job! And I want him to kiss me. Over, and over, and over again.
