Nice After Five

He's a modern-day prince yearning for his dream woman. She's an ordinary girl seeking a fresh beginning. Can a fateful meeting from years past ignite a love story worthy of a fairytale?

Dominique's brave leap into a new job is a chance at redemption, a lifeline to a dream she's tirelessly pursued. Yet, the beguiling Rafael, at the helm of the town's cherished newspaper, holds the key to her aspirations – and her heart.

In the picturesque town of Fated, Missouri, Rafael grapples with his role as a reluctant publisher and with a persistent memory of his fleeting encounter with a mysterious woman. Meanwhile, Dominique battles to remain unnoticed, all while a powerful attraction simmers beneath the surface. But Rafael is no stranger to puzzles, and his determination to unravel her layers only grows stronger, even if it means enlisting the aid of an imaginary wing-man.

From the quiet charm of their town to the allure of a tropical paradise, their playful game of conceal and reveal takes them on an adventure that spans beyond the expected. With a dash of royalty and the intriguing backdrop of a reality show, the stages are set for a love story that transcends time and boundaries.

As the layers of their pasts slowly unravel, Dominique and Rafael navigate a delicate dance of emotions and revelations. Will their intertwined destinies lead to the ultimate discovery of true love, or will the secrets they guard threaten to pull them apart?
