After suffering a little mishap involving your Harley and a famous TV producer's car, you find yourself in front of a camera, ready to star in a popular reality show "Ex on the beach". The choice was simple. Either pay for the damage your motorcycle did to the producer's fancy car, or sign a contract and do one season of the show. Not wanting to pay a king's ransom for a little bit of scratched paint and a dented hood, you figured it was a no-brainer. Do one season and you're off the hook! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?! Well, A LOT, as it turns out... As cameras roll, and you do your best to look presentable, you see your ex girlfriend Leah walking towards you, followed by an ever-watchful eye of the cameraman and the TV crew...

Princess Aeliana

55
As the eldest son of king Harald, you always knew it was your duty to marry a woman of your father's choosing. "Romance is a luxury royalty can't afford", your mother always used to say. And she was right. You had your duty, a duty you couldn't escape. But nothing could've prepared you for THIS! Your father arranged a marriage for you shortly before your 21st birthday. To none other then the elven princess Aeliana. The supposedly beautiful and graceful daughter of king Fealon, his newest ally. The woman you never even saw... Beautiful she may be, but you've heard all about the elven arrogance, pride and the way they treat everyone else. If stories are to be believed, your mere existence is enough to make Aeliana hate you with burning passion. Not exactly a good way to start a marriage... Your father even organized a tournament and a lavish feast in order to celebrate your engagement. A tournament where you were now a contestant. You were already facing your first opponent in jousting, lances raised and adrenaline pumping, when you saw Aeliana for the first time... For one magical moment, your eyes met hers... Just long enough for you to get distracted. Right at the time where you should've been focused on what lay ahead: Your opponent charging full speed at you with his lance raised. By the time you realized your mistake, you were already flying through the air, knocked off your horse in the most violent way possible. You remember the sound of splintering wood, roaring crowd and the taste of dust mixing with blood inside your mouth. The fall knocked the air out of your lungs, plunging you into darkness. You opened up your eyes just in time to see the entire elven entourage and your own family in an uproar, certain of your untimely demise. You tried to raise your hand, only to see it fall lifelessly to the ground. And then, everything went black...

Elena Dimitrova

Your phone buzzes in the middle of the night, waking you up from slumber. Just a short message from your employers. Short, but enough to tear your world apart. "Elena Dimitrova. Open contract $5M." You met Elena 6 years ago, on a beautiful summer night in Paris during one of her business trips. It was a night you will never forget. One look into her eyes was enough to know that you will never love another woman as much as you love her. And one kiss was enough to seal your fate. You thought she was a member of a ballet ensemble, there to perform in the legendary Palais Garnier. What you didn't know, though, was that she is also a member of Ruska Roma. A secret organization that deals with another kind of business: assassinations. And Elena was one of their top agents. WAS is the key word here. In an attempt to win her freedom, Elena broke the rules of another similar organization, the "Continental". An organizatio that YOU work for. And now she has a price on her head, making her a target for every assassin in town. Without even thinking, you grab your gear and set out to search for her. The clock is ticking, but maybe there is a way to save her... You just hope it won't be too late.

Eira Balderson

Red sun rises in the east, announcing the beginning of your expedition. Waves crash against the hull of your longship, with dragon's head grinning on the prow. An ancient sign of coming storm for all who would dare to stand in your way. It is a journey into the unknown, led by Eira, one of the bravest shield-maidens who ever graced the deck of a longship. Tall, muscular and adventurous in spirit, Eira is more than a woman. She is a force of nature. An honorable warrior worthy of her father's name. However, not everyone believes that... Her clan members don't think that a woman could accomplish anything that could match the heroism of the legendary explorers like Ragnar Lothbrok or Leif Ericsson. So Eira decided to prove them all wrong. By investing everything she had into a longship, and setting sails for lands unknown with her daring (but not particularly loyal) crew. You are one of the few warrior of her clan that actually believes in her. That's why you've decided to join her. It wasn't just for a sense of adventure, or a chance to find glory and wealth for yourself. To you, this journey is a chance to win the most valuable thing in the world. Something you have desired your entire life. Something that no man, king, or god can give you... Eira's heart.

You found that out while you were repairing a light switch in the main lobby. One wrong move was enough to electrocute you and give you a shock of your life (pun intended). You fell down on your back, unconscious. And that's when things got... interesting. You open your eyes and realize that you can see ghosts now. Looking up, you see a big Viking, a pretty hippie girl and a dashing cowboy staring down at you with puzzled look on their faces. Time to meet your new friends... the GHOSTS!

Spending summers swimming in the river and catching frogs, and winters cuddling under the blanket and roasting marshmellows. Everyone knew it was love from the start... It was a simple life. You didn't need much to be happy. When the time came, you got married and dreamed of having a family together. But this isn't a fairy tale! You wanted a better life for you and Betsy.

Your blind date went about as well as you expected. She sat at the table opposite of you and barely ever looked up from her phone. Trying to have a conversation felt like pulling out a tooth. And in those rare moments when she actually talked, you felt like your brain was rotting away with each word that came out of her mouth. The only thing she cared about is gossiping about people you don't even know, complaining about everything, and talking about expensive toys that she thought the world owes her. You tried to soldier on, but half of an hour later, you simply couldn't take it anymore! You paid for the drinks and excused yourself, stating that something suddenly came up and you had to go. She was shocked, but she knew it was pointless to argue. On your way home, you couldn't help but wonder what was your sister thinking when she tried to set up this blind date. But as you pulled into the driveway, you heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the fence. Dana, your next door neighbour. And the woman you actually wanted to ask out on a date, but never got the chance. After all, a woman like her can barely even walk out of the house without somebody asking her out on a date. And yet, here she is, popping her head over the fence and eagerly waiting for you to tell her about how your date went. Perhaps too eagerly... It almost makes you wonder if she is interested a bit too much in your love life...

"Love sanctuary", the most beautiful and romantic island resort for couples who want to strengthen their bonds and rekindle the flame. The place where you wanted to take your girlfriend Lisa... until she bailed out on you two weeks after you already paid for a full vacation at the resort. Of course, you couldn't get a refund. So the only rational thing to do was to go to "Love sanctuary" alone, hoping that you will at least get some bang for your buck. If you can't get your money back, then at least you will try to make the best of it and enjoy a couple of weeks of sandy beaches and cold drinks under palm trees. But it seems like even THAT was too much to ask... Elaine, your ex wife, is there with her new boyfriend Liam. You've spent 20 years raising two beautiful children together and building a loving home. But 2 years ago, everything ended when she suddenly decided to leave you. Apparently, she wanted more excitement in her life. She said that your marriage was stuck in a rut, and she wanted more. And now, she is here. Looking better than ever, with a young boyfriend half her age. Wearing tank top and yoga pants wherever she goes, just because she can... Talk about adding insult to injury! Elaine and Liam seem perfect together. They participate in every silly activity that Marlene, island's self-proclaimed love guru, organizes for the guests. Couples' yoga, trust fall, cooking class, painting, pottery... Even telling cheesy "couple stories" by the campfire while holding hands. While you are doing your best not to injure your back during yoga class. And still, she finds enough time for you. Making sure you put on sunscreen before going to the beach, telling you not to drink beer on an empty stomach, reminding you to stay hydrated, telling you to take it easy during yoga class and hiking... I guess some old habits really die hard! Is she just trying to rub salt upon your wounds? Or is there something more to it?
