She's on the fast track to success at a TV production company until she's roped into a mission to go undercover on a reality dating show called “The King Takes a Bride.” But Anika isn't vying for love, she's there to expose the truth behind the scenes as a fake production assistant.  Enter Luca St. Marten, the prince of a small European nation who's about to get a crash course in the wild world of reality TV. With his struggling country in need of a tourism boost, Luca reluctantly agrees to star in the show, never expecting to find anything remotely resembling romance.  But sparks fly when fate — and the show's producers — throws Anika and Luca together. Suddenly, the undercover production assistant is asked to replace one of the potential princess brides and is swept up in a whirlwind romance that blurs the lines between real life and TV fantasy. Will she find her happily ever after, or is Anika just buying into a scripted plot twist?
