He's her best friend's brother, and as of this summer he's the competition ...As a woman already living the dream, elementary school librarian Kathleen Hart never intended to become a contestant on Greece's favorite competition game show this summer. Unlike her estranged mother, she has never needed to be the center of attention. But when a chance encounter leads to an offer to compete, she realizes she can't say no. Not when there's a mountain of money at stake and she could do a lot of good with the prize.Construction worker Nick Merrick also needs that cash. He's got everything Kathleen doesn't: strength, stamina, six-pack ... and a brand-new crippling fear of heights that he's struggling to keep hidden from his intrusive Greek family.Normally Greece's Top Hoplite isn't a show about finding love, but this season, unbeknownst to Kathleen and Nick, the producers are switching up the formula in an attempt to grab a bigger share of the international market. They want love! They want drama! And they'll do anything to put on an explosive show-even if it means exploiting Kathleen and Nick's undeniable chemistry ... and their tragic pasts.The Summer Show is a closed-door romantic comedy, with a touch of steam and some mild language. This romcom is packed with laugh-out-loud banter, kooky Greek families, and a whole lot of heart.

And they'll have do it while fighting their natural urge to strangle each other, figuratively speaking.The only solution is a secret and temporary truce, in a place where a secret is no secret at all. Complicating matters, Ana is alarmed to discover that her time in the classroom, teaching alongside her sworn enemy, is fast becoming the most fun she's ever had in Greece.
