The Twelve Dates of February

She has twelve days to fall in love for the cameras. The problem? The only man she wants is the one holding the lens.

Katherine "Kat" O’Malley is drowning. To her one million followers, she is Kiki Hart, the bubbly, confident dating coach who can find romance in a grocery store aisle. In reality, she’s single, broke, and one rent payment away from eviction. Her last-ditch effort to save her career? The Twelve Dates of February: a live-streamed gauntlet where she must go on twelve blind dates in twelve days, culminating in a Valentine’s Day reveal of "The One."

Enter Jack Mercer. He’s a serious documentary filmmaker who thinks influencers are the end of civilization, but he needs the paycheck. His job is simple: hold the camera, stay silent, and make Kiki look like a princess.

But the dates are disasters. From crypto-bros to guys who bring their moms, Kiki’s search for love is a train wreck. The only stability she finds is in the dark eyes scowling at her from behind the camera. As the disasters mount, the professional lines blur. Jack steps in to save her from a creep, shields her from the rain, and sees the terrified woman beneath the ring light.

The internet notices, too. Soon, the hashtag #TeamCameraman is trending higher than the show itself.

When the sponsors threaten to destroy Jack’s career unless Kiki picks their "perfect" planted suitor, she faces an impossible choice: Fake the fairytale to save the man she loves, or destroy her career to tell the truth.
