Bachelor Auction (Simone)

Billionaire Lucas Oliver is hell-bent on revenge. And his plan begins when Sydney Blake-the stunning daughter of his enemy-is tricked into bidding on him at a bachelor auction. Then he serves up a little blackmail...followed by a marriage proposal Sydney has no choice but to accept. Sydney has been controlled by her family her whole life. When Lucas threatens to reveal her father's shady business, she is once again forced to do her duty for her family. But worse-oh so much worse-is the rush of lust that Lucas ignites in her blood. Lucas is determined to make Sydney suffer, but it's tough when he can't keep from touching her-or thinking about touching her-all the time. She's not fairing much better since she's engaged to a darkly handsome beast intent on destroying her entire family...along with her heart.

Plain-Jane computer programmer Khloe Richardson needs a date-one to make the prince of her dreams jealous. Maybe then he'll finally see her as a desirable swan and not the ugly duckling in the second office from the left. But when she bids on a bachelor at a charity auction, the man she wins is millionaire Niall Hunter-who once made intense, passionate love to her and then left without a word. She's determined not to let her guard down again-among other things-around the infamous Irish lothario. Niall never imagined his penance for one hot-as-hell night with his best friend's little sister would be transforming her from a shy wallflower to a sultry siren. Helping her attract another man is torture...especially when he promised his friend he'd stay away. Plus she wants forever, and he's not a forever kind of guy. But Niall can't stop wanting her. Can't stop touching her. Can't stop, period. And damn if he can remember why he has to...

Aiden never expected to see Noelle again, and he's determined to keep his distance from the beautiful enigma wrapped in denim and leather. He can't trust anyone with the last name Rana. But he made a promise to his dying mother, and he intends to keep it-except it isn't long before Noelle invades his personal space. Suddenly, he can't stop thinking about the exotic beauty's alluring curves.

Boston socialite Morgan Lett is having a run of bad luck. Her fiancé just dumped her for her stepsister, the charity foundation she's given her life to is in danger of folding, and now, the gorgeous man she bid on and won at a masquerade bachelor auction turns out to be a cold-hearted jerk...and her new employer. Millionaire Alexander Bishop needs the best wife money can buy. In order to inherit his family business, he must get engaged-fast. And Morgan, with her beauty and pedigree, is the perfect candidate. Her sharp tongue may drive him crazy, but she needs money to save the foundation she loves, and he needs a fiancée. It's a flawless arrangement-no strings, no love. But soon she has him craving more and cursing the platonic terms of their agreement. Still, he won't allow need-no matter how hot it burns-to threaten everything he's built.
