I don’t belong here.
I’m in way over my head. But I have debts to pay. They call my name. The spotlight is on. The auction starts. Mr. Black is the highest bidder. He’s dark, rich, and powerful. He likes to play games. The only rule is there are no rules. But it’s just one night. What’s the worst that can happen? |
We don’t belong together.
I should have never seen him again after our first night together. But I crave him. I’m addicted to him. He is my dark pleasure. Mr. Black is Aiden. Aiden is Mr. Black. Two sides of the same person. Aiden is kind and sweet.Mr. Black is demanding and rule-oriented. When he invites me back to his yacht, I can’t say no. Another auction. Another bid. I’m supposed to be his. But then everything goes wrong…. |
I don’t belong with her.
Born into darkness, life made me a cynic incapable of love. But then Ellie waltzed in. Innocent, optimistic, kind. She’s the opposite of what I deserve. I bought her, but she she stole my heart. Now my business is going up in flames. I have only one chance to make it right. That’s where it happens…something I can never take back. I don’t cheat on her. There’s no one else. It’s worse than that. Much worse. Can we survive this? |
Is this the end of us?
I found a woman I can’t live without. We’ve been through so much. We’ve had our set backs. But our love is stronger than ever. We are survivors. But when they take her from me at the altar, right before she is to become my wife, everything breaks. I will do anything to free her. I will do anything to make her mine for good. But is that enough? And what if it's not? |

An innocent girl.
What happens when he buys her at an auction?
They are from different worlds.
He is dangerous and powerful and he likes to play games.
She has debts to pay.
In the middle of the ocean, trapped on a luxury yacht, Ellie’s in over her head.
There’s no way out.
And the auction starts…

This is a Prequel to the Black Series. It features the same couple, the same Alpha hero, and the same strong heroine.
from Black Edge
Caroline and I both sit there for a few minutes debating whether we should really go through with this.
Honestly, I don't know.
On one hand, it seems insane.
An auction.
A sex auction, in this day and age.
We’re women.
We’re supposed to be liberated and free.
We can have sex with anyone we choose.
On the other hand, being liberated and free also means that I’m free to participate in an auction if I want.
Right?
Would this really make me a prostitute?
Or do you get some sort of one-night pass?
I mean, I’ve had a one night stand before after a really nice dinner.
How exactly would this be any different?
I wait on the bed breathing very fast for what feels like forever. My fingers nervously fidget and run along edge of my restraints. I can’t see the robe that I’m wearing, but I know it’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever worn for a man. Plus, the feathers feel very soft and comfortable. It’s like I’m wrapped in luxury.
Waiting is pure torture. There’s room in the mask for my eyes to open freely without my eyelashes touching the fabric, but all I see is blackness around me. How long do I have to wait like this? My thoughts keep going back to the amount of money that the mysterious Mr. Black paid for me. $250,000. That’s a lot of money. I wonder what kind of night he is expecting from all of this. To tell you the truth, I’m not the most exciting girl in bed. I’m actually quite boring. I don't like to do a lot and I’m not a huge fan of being on top. When I’m on top, I can never relax enough to actually orgasm.
The door swings open. I exhale and inhale deeply, trying to compose myself. My body suddenly gets really cold and really hot at the same time. My hormones must be going nuts. I hear the footsteps approaching the bed.
“Hello?” I ask, not able to bear the anticipation much longer.
“Good evening,” he says after a moment. His voice is smooth, and deep, and has a kind of oak quality to it. He doesn’t sound very old, but then again, what do I know about voices?
“Are you Mr. Black?” I ask.
“Yes, I am,” he says slowly. “But you may call me Sir.”
“Just sir?” I ask.
“Yes, just sir.”
