The Launch Date

Grace Hastings''s dream job at the popular ''true love'' dating app, Fate, has turned into a nightmare. Her boss is a leech, her career is stagnating, and her fiance has just brutally dumped her. Her hope for finding her own love story is waning, and she feels like a fraud for promoting a concept she no longer believes in. When the company''s CEO offers her an opportunity to earn a big promotion, she resolves to fight her imposter syndrome to show she deserves a seat at the table. The opportunity? To launch a brand-new app focusing on IRL dating and genuine connection. The problem? She must develop and test drive a series of ''first dates'' with the other person gunning for the job: notorious socialite playboy and Grace''s biggest work rival, Eric Bancroft. During their disastrous hikes, dangerous cooking classes and steamy yoga sessions, they begin to realise their stark differences may just be surface level and Eric might just be the perfect person to challenge Grace''s perceptions of love, dating culture and self-worth.

To get her dream job, she'll have to date her worst nightmare . . .

Grace Hastings is in a rut. Her career is stagnating, her boss is a leech, and she feels like a fraud working for Fate, a dating app whose ethos she no longer believes in. And don't even get her started on the state of her love life.

So when the company's CEO offers her an opportunity for a big promotion and the chance to work on the launch of a dating app that she actually cares about, Grace can't believe her luck.

That is, until she discovers that she must test drive a series of 'first dates' with her competition for the job: notorious socialite playboy and Grace's biggest work rival, Eric Bancroft.

But Grace refuses to give up her dream job because of a man. And besides, how romantic can a handful of fake dates with your biggest rival really be?

There's absolutely no way it's an office romance waiting to happen.
