A Selection With No Chance of Winning

I’m a professional contestant in bride-selection events. My job isn’t to win the groom—my job is to win the audience. Only once did I break the script and fall in love with someone who would never choose a stand-in girl. Since then, I’ve been hiding from cameras and paparazzi, healing my broken heart. But the upcoming competition will put me face-to-face with my former love—and, as a bonus, I’ll get a winged guardian. Now I’m one of the contestants in the groom-selection, and these two will become my rivals.

I can’t win, I can’t lose, I can’t reveal anything, I can’t fall in love—yet I’m making the old mistake again.
