The Auction

Ten years ago, I broke the heart of the girl I loved, and she ran from me, never giving me a chance to explain, leaving me devastated. Now Lottie is back and working in my club. Which gives me the chance to put things right. I know she's hiding a secret, but I can't walk away. When she enters an auction to sell her body, I refuse to let another man touch what is mine. I offer her a way out, a marriage of convenience that will benefit us both. The contract says we'll stay married for a year. But she was mine then, she's mine now, and I'm never letting her go again. When I was young, Lincoln was the hero in my story. The boy who promised me forever. Until the day I found out it was all a lie. Now, ten years later, he's the villain who holds my future in his hands. Drowning in debt and determined to protect the one person that means the world to me, I agree to auction off the one thing I have left to sell: my virginity. With no place to hide, I face the man who still makes my pulse quicken. But I have demands of my own. I'll give him my body for a year, but he'll never have my heart again. And he can never find out the truth of what happened ten years ago. Contains mature themes.
