Sold to His Rival

One drunken joke. One million-dollar bid. One furious ex-husband.

Six months after her divorce, Lucy Whitmore is tired of being treated like the discarded wife everyone pities.

So when a charity auction begins dying in front of Manhattan's wealthiest guests, Lucy makes a reckless offer: one date with herself.

She expects laughter. Maybe a few playful bids.

She does not expect Griffin Ashford-her ex-husband's ruthless billionaire rival-to raise his paddle and offer one million dollars.

Griffin claims the outrageous bid was for charity. Lucy knows better. He has spent years battling Gregory Ashford for power, property, and prestige-and publicly claiming Gregory's ex-wife may be his cruelest victory yet.

But when Gregory begins attacking Lucy's reputation, Griffin offers her a dangerous solution: pretend their relationship is real.

For one month, Lucy will stand beside the man her ex hates most. She will attend glamorous parties, face relentless cameras, and make Gregory watch her move on.

It should be the perfect revenge.

Until the kisses stop feeling staged.

Until Griffin starts treating Lucy's opinions like they matter.

Until she discovers he noticed her long before the auction-and his interest in her may be far more personal than either of them is prepared to admit.

But Griffin has secrets of his own, and Lucy refuses to escape one controlling man only to become another billionaire's prize.

He may have paid one million dollars for their first date. Winning her heart will cost him much more.

Sold to His Rival is a steamy contemporary romance featuring a newly divorced heroine, a possessive billionaire rival, fake dating, public scandal, revenge, jealousy, and a hard-earned happily ever after.
