The Auctioneer

 Kate Greene is desperate, and she needs help.

She just doesn’t expect help to come in the form of someone from her past. The only problem is that Daire Middleford is no longer the guy she knew. Now older, dangerous, and even more gorgeous, he goes by the title The Auctioneer.
His client list is full of the insanely wealthy and powerful, and Kate’s only resort is to be put up at the next auction because she needs money, she needs lots of it, and she needs it fast.
But first, she needs to convince Daire to put her there.
