The Auction

Her father’s debt. Sold to the highest bidder. One week changes her life forever.

Emiliano Coppola was scum. Short, pudgy, sweaty scum. Most men who sat in this office were, but he was the lowest of the low. Instead of sacrificing himself, he had the nerve to offer his daughter as payment for his debt. A man who would offer his daughter in a skin auction wasn’t a man, he was filth.

If it were up to me, we’d decline. But it wasn’t.

The auction rules were simple: any of-age, willing party could take part.

I might be one of the owners of The Market, but it didn’t mean I participated in the activities that took place there. That changes once I see Emiliana on my security monitor.


Author’s Note: The Auction ends on a cliffhanger. The rest of the story continues in Her Protector. It was previously published as episodes 1-12 of Her Protector on Kindle Vella. A content note is provided in the front matter of the book for anyone who wants that information prior to reading.
