["Semi-Soet" but make it...✨American✨]
A driven advertising executive Juliette Bennett is invited to South Africa to pitch to a prestigious, family-run wine estate. To impress the clients, who value stability and tradition, she hires a charming stranger to pose as her fiancé. But the plan begins to unravel when she discovers her pretend partner Jake Parker is, in fact, the very businessman (known as the "Jackal") threatening to take over her company.
What follows is a journey that's part bitter, part sweet. Much like the perfect glass of semi-sweet wine.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.
