Audrey Carlan

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Audrey Carlan comes a new story in her Marriage Auction series... I run the most elite auction in the world. Candidates and bidders come from all over the globe hoping to change their lives. And I deliver. I'm in the business of bringing couples together in a mutually beneficial and legally binding marriage. The terms are three years for no less than a million dollars a year, not including my commission. Once a pair signs on the dotted line, the contract ensures there is no going back. Most couples find over time they are a love match, but not all. Before I took over The Marriage Auction, there wasn't an extensive vetting process. Some candidates were subjected to horrors that haunt my every waking moment. I vowed to change that. To stand up for those who deserve more and to release them from the wrongs inflicted upon them by circumstance and chance. What my bidders and candidates don't know is that I understand exactly what they are experiencing. I wasn't always known as Madam Alana. Once upon a time, I too was purchased in The Marriage Auction... And this is my story. Reviews for Madam Alana: "If you enjoy the Marriage Auction series, this is a must-read." Cocktails and Books "Well, Audrey has done it again Another unputdownable book set in The Marriage Auction prequel timeline of our beloved Madam Alana's very own auction journey." miss.willa.colyns.diary "Ms. Carlan did an outstanding job penning this novella. The character depth just pulls you in and makes you feel a myriad of emotions." The Romance Reporter

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Audrey Carlan comes a new story in her Marriage Auction series... "'Tis the Season," some people say, as if the month of December could somehow magically make the world a better place. Fat chance of that happening in Sin City. In my world, nothing is merry and bright. More like dark and dank. In fact, deck the halls should be deck the slobbering drunk who waited for me to get off work and followed me to my car with only one thing in mind. He didn't expect a smart girl with a handy-dandy taser, ready to light the star on his tree. Unfortunately, I didn't expect there to be two of them. While my attacker was on the ground, twitching and convulsing, his face as red and puffed up as ole St. Nick, I was grabbed from behind by Santa's helper. As luck would have it, a limo rolled through the parking lot just in time. A pair of men exited the vehicle and dispatched my attackers as if by magic. A sleek, elegant, and expensively dressed woman alighted from her shiny sleigh, took one look at me, and offered me a Christmas miracle... Three million dollars for three years of my life. And that's how I met my savior, Madam Alana, the owner of The Marriage Auction. Reviews for A Christmas Auction: "Quite literally the perfect spicy Christmas novella to get in the mood for the holidays " Amysbookshelff "This story had everything I love. Action. Alpha MMC. Independent MFC. It was all of these things wrapped in tinsel."

Love and money are a dangerous combination Mia Saunders needs money. A lot of money. She has one year to pay off the loan shark who has threatened her father's life and is coming after his unpaid gambling debts. One million dollars to be exact.

Spend a month with a rich man whom she doesn't have to sleep with if she doesn't want to? Easy money. Unlucky in love with a spirit that never gives up, this curvy motorcycle-riding vixen plans to get in, make her money, and get out.
