Love Under Duress

Step into the provocative world of Red House—a dark, spicy romance series—with its first installment, The Audition Tapes.

The story follows Oona Velasco, an art authenticator with a background in dance and nude modeling, and Hawk Landon, a former military operative haunted by trauma. Recruited for a covert mission, they must infiltrate the luxurious and voyeuristic Red House, where couples live under constant surveillance and perform for paying Patrons. Their assignment demands not only physical intimacy but emotional authenticity.

As Oona and Hawk play out their cover story in real time, living the day-to-day of two people falling in love, their chemistry intensifies, blurring the line between performance and reality. When high-stakes evaluations—each culminating in transformative acts of intimacy—force them to confront their deepest desires, the aftermath becomes fraught with the emotional fallout of self-doubt, leaving a longing for real connection.

Can love survive the weight of public performance?
