The Auction

In the dark romance novel The Auction by Sadie Kincaid, the story follows Imogen Demotta, a woman who has been raised in isolation. After her parents' death, she was kept by her grandfather with one cruel purpose: to be sold to the Brotherhood on her twenty-first birthday as a "pure" prize to pay for her family’s alleged crimes.

Her life changes forever when she is put on the auction block and purchased by the reclusive, scarred billionaire Lincoln Knight. While the world views Lincoln as a dangerous monster who hides his face behind a mask, Imogen soon discovers that the truth is far more complex.

Trapped in his crumbling mansion deep in the woods, she initially plans to escape her captor. however, as their forced proximity ignites a scorching slow-burn connection, Imogen begins to realize that the man behind the mask might be her only protector. In a world of organized crime and deadly secrets, she must decide if she can trust the "monster" who bought her or if she is simply a pawn in a much larger, more dangerous game.
