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?

When two powerful families decide to seal an old promise through marriage, Seraphina Alcaraz's world collapses in one night.

At a young age, she had to learn how to grow up fast and support her family, while everyone her age was out partying and living their best life. After several years, she is learning to put it all behind her and move on with her life. She eventually graduates from college and is now choosing the path she wants in life. Aiden Morgan is a twenty-five-year-old who was given the title C.E.O. by his father after he retired three years ago, when Aiden was the age of twenty-two. The Morgan family has never known the word 'poverty' or ever experienced the slightest bit of poverty. Their wealth has been passed on from generation to generation. Two worlds collide, how bad can it be? Slow-burning story that highlights the craft of falling in love. True Love isn't an experience that needs to be rushed, not even the slightest bit.

What ensues is a competition hotter than Lily ever could have imagined, and a romance deeper than she ever could have dreamed. But as their games of cat and mouse become increasingly intense, both are forced to face the deeper question: in games of lust and love, what is the price of victory?Complete
