A Villa in Paradise

It’s destined to be the ultimate reality show: Ten contestants. A luxurious villa on a stunning private island. Every moment streamed live to a global audience who have unprecedented control over those competing for the cash prize.

The Journalist

Coerced by her callous editor to enter the show undercover, Laura is a journalist told to get the inside scoop on her fellow contestants. But once the games begin, she soon finds herself out of her depth and at the mercy of a ruthless producer – a woman willing to do anything to increase viewer numbers.

Reality TV to Die For

There is more to every contestant than meets the eye, including Laura. They all have secrets they’d like to keep buried, and the pressure in paradise quickly reaches boiling point. How far will the contestants go to secure audience votes? How far will Laura herself go? And would somebody really kill to win?

Travel Guide

Welcome to Paradise

There’s an island you are about to spend an entire week on as a reality contestant. You are being filmed the entire time and there is no way off the island. Whatever you might think. The island is paradise but it is also the chance to catch more than a glimpse or two of hell..

Aruna

The fictional island somewhere in the Spanish Balearics.

“Ir rose out of the sea like a rocky iceberg. We banked right, curling over Aruna. From above it looked like a jigsaw piece, adrift ina blanket of topaz blue. There were dramatic cliffs, rocky outcrops and horseshoe bays with white sand. I’d only ever read about these kinds or private islands. The type you had to ‘enquire’ about because they were so exclusive. The pilot was right. It was paradise.”
