#1 Built to Last

They have to build a set together, but will they also build a love that lasts?

After a bad break-up left her confidence in tatters, Rose is struggling to paint anything new. But when her best friend needs help and asks Rose to use her artistic abilities to get her out of a stressful work situation, she agrees. While Rose has never designed a set before, she is willing to do anything for her closest friend, even though it means facing her fears.

Hoping this new medium will help her reconnect with her creativity Rose is cautiously optimistic about the new project, until she finds out who her partner is. Mortified to realise she’ll be stuck working with the handsome stranger she had an unfortunate run-in with only a couple of nights before, Rose feels even more pressure to make sure the project is a success.

Phillip is looking forward to the opportunity to put his skills to use on a new kind of project—building a set. He’s shocked to realise the set designer is the woman from the other night, but determined to make her see he’s not the man she thought he was.

Will working to meet their deadline bring the guarded artist and the people-pleasing carpenter together, or will their partnership end in disaster?

#2 Plan to Stay

One destroyed wedding venue. Two reluctant partners. Can the best man and maid of honour set aside their differences long enough to save the day?

Aria’s best friend’s wedding venue has gone up in flames—literally. When the well-meaning groom insists she let his older brother help organise a replacement, things only get worse. There’s no reason for Aria to refuse Eric’s support—at least not one she’s willing to share. But she knows better than to trust him with something so important.

Single dad Eric has no time for liars, meaning he has no time for Aria. Unfortunately, he can’t expose her true nature without revealing his own mistakes. Unable to escape her and frustrated that everyone, even his son, seems to love her, Eric begins to wonder—is he missing something?

With the wedding only a month away, there’s no time to argue. Forced together and under pressure to succeed, Aria and Eric quickly discover a connection that’s impossible to deny. Everything is looking up. But when fear of history repeating itself leads Eric to blow his second chance, he’ll have a tough time proving he deserves a third. Will they lose the family they’ve been building? Or can they both find a reason to stay?
