Hey, I'm Danielle,
I guess you could say that I'm smart, quirky, sarcastic and have just landed the best job ever for an 18 year old! I'm head of the Costume and Design Department in THE London Film Studios. Can I get a what, what?
The move from my small home town to the big capital has really set me on my toes.
I have no time for boys, my parents and other pointless troubles, but then I end up working with Spanish heart throb, Alexander Valentino.
He works at THE London Film Studios, acting in the biggest, hottest teen programme of all time.
"All You Need Is Drama"
He portrays, 'Caleb Johnson' - a bad boy. He's got all the features too anyway, killer looks, money, awesome style - but one hell of a shit ass personality.
I know to stay away from him, but I can't help resist the attraction that's tingling on the back of my mind. I know what happened with Martha, I can't let it happen to me. Our personalities, are poles-apart, we're definitely not 'made for each other'.
I think...?
I guess we can't seem to stop our relationship on and off set, spiralling out of control...
Lily is a laidback slacker with a phobia for commitment...who happens to owe the devil her (nonexistent) firstborn. When the ruler of Hell comes knocking, what choice does she have but to let the devil play matchmaker?
***
Lily has never been good at relationships, not that it matters to her. That is until Eve, a seductive woman claiming to be the devil's apprentice, shows up to collect a debt Lily doesn't remember owing: her firstborn child. Without a firstborn to give, and with the threat of eternal damnation at her heels, Lily finds herself on a chaotic matchmaking quest with the devil herself. Eve swears she's only playing matchmaker to collect the debt owed to her, but with each failed set-up, Lily suspects there may be something more to the devil's plan.
