The Castle: a Ya Contemporary Romance Set in a Reality Tv Show and Dreams Book

Stella wants a place at drama school—and she’ll do whatever it takes to win the scholarship that could get her there. Even if it means spending a week inside a medieval castle, method-acting her way through a reality TV audition with no script, just a character brief.Playing Scarlett means being strong, rebellious, and always in control. Living in costume, in role, and under constant surveillance? Stella’s ready. She just didn’t count on Gareth—a mysterious servant who keeps interrupting her big moments. He’s frustrating, quiet, distractingly handsome… and he might not be who he says he is.To win, the eight contestants must not only stay in character 24/7, but also survive a series of medieval-inspired challenges—from archery and map-reading to cryptic puzzles—designed to test more than just acting skills. As the lines blur between performance and reality, Stella begins to question what she really wants. The scholarship? The role? Or something deeper?When real-world conflict threatens to shatter the carefully constructed world of the show, Stella faces an impossible choice: keep playing the part, or step out of character and fight for the relationships that matter most.Perfect for fans of The Inheritance Games and the TV show The Traitors, THE CASTLE is a twisty, romantic, high-stakes drama where ambition, identity, and truth collide behind the walls of a Welsh castle.This is a kisses-only romance with no swearing, but plenty of swooning.
