The Auctioned Heart

One soul. Two monsters. And a debt that can only be paid in blood.

Starling Pierce has spent her entire life in the shadows, invisible to everyone—until the day her father auctions her off to settle a debt that wasn’t hers to pay. Suddenly, she is the most coveted prize in a world where humanity is a currency and mercy is a death sentence.

In the gilded cage of the auction house, she is caught between two men who embody her darkest nightmares and her most forbidden desires.

One is a monster hidden behind a porcelain mask—a man who demands her absolute submission and rules her world with cold, lethal precision. The other is a ghost from a past she tried to bury—a man who wears betrayal like a second skin and treats her like a sacred secret he’s finally allowed to touch.

To Starling, they are her captors. Her obstacles. The men she must break if she ever wants to be free. But as the shadows of the auction house close in, she realizes a much bloodier war is being waged just out of sight.

She’s fighting to escape them. They’re fighting to keep her alive.

In a game where every heart has a price, Starling must decide if the two men she’s fighting against are the only ones worth fighting for.
