When Aspen discovers a flyer in a client's home for a new competitive show, she eagerly submits her name, hoping to pull her family out of poverty. Little did she know that this decision would change her life forever. Not once did Aspen believe she would actually end up on the show; however, it turned out to be much different from what she anticipated.
Out of her depth, Aspen is forced to navigate the complexities and unexpected realities of a romance competition, where everyone else, except her, is looking to marry and forge relationships. She is determined to keep her eyes on the prize and win alone. If only Niklaus hadn't appeared. To everyone else, he is a dream come true, but to her, he's a distraction.
As the competition forces them together, it becomes increasingly difficult for Aspen to concentrate on the $500,000 prize. With each game, she finds it harder to resist the charming individuals around her. Will she stay focused and earn the prize money on her own, or will she succumb to love and everything that entails?
