Her mother had just remarried, and Dana was dragged to an elegant mansion where she spent most of her time alone while her mother traveled. No one seemed to care she was alive... until her older stepbrother moved in. Mason became her friend and protector. He brought light to her dark existence. But soon, to her dismay, she found that her heart raced and inappropriate feelings surged every time he was near. Then one day, as quickly as he'd come into her life, Mason disappeared again, leaving her more alone than she’d ever felt before. Mason hated walking away from Dana all those years ago, but he had no choice. Leaving freed him from the devastating struggle against his own intense desire. Now the head of his own corporate empire, Mason has wealth, power, and no shortage of beautiful women ready to fulfill his every need. But despite having it all, Mason is bored. He’s never forgotten Dana, even though she’s the one woman in the world who is totally off-limits. When he finds out she’s in desperate need of money and has decided to auction off her virginity, Mason is unwilling to let Dana slip away again…even if it means bidding on the one thing that’s always been completely forbidden.
