Seventeen. The year before you live freely, right? Not to Corinne Davison. She's been in WFCA (Wyoming Foster Care Agency) almost her whole life, with only her twelve year old companion to talk to. One day, she gets a letter, specifically written to her. She was hoping for it to be about something newsworthy to her mind, but it ends being the exact opposite. When she is being sent from WFCA to AFCA (Alabama Foster Care Agency) and a new foster family, she meets the former only foster child, Zach Memphis, an also well known player whom she had used to know before being in WFCA and AFCA. Being the possible prey of the player, Corinne tries to snake out of the most horrible lifestyle ever, of course, in her opinion.ÂÂ

Sebastian King
They call me the Lucifer of the Mafia. The God of Death.
The man who bends Europe to his will with a snap of his fingers.
And yet-none of that power could have prepared me for her.
Erika Carter.
She wasn't supposed to matter. She was just another piece in this rotten world I rule, another soul pulled into the sick "Auction" I've hated all my life. I should have walked away. But the moment I saw her defiant eyes staring back at me-unafraid, unbroken-I knew she was mine to claim.
Only... not like the others.
I didn't buy her to destroy her.
I bought her to refine her.
To protect her. To own her. To burn for her.
But Erika Carter doesn't bend. She pushes back. She tests me. She looks at the devil and smiles, daring me to fall into the one trap I swore I'd never believe in-
Love.
And God help me... I'm already falling.
Erika Carter
He thinks he owns me. He thinks money, fear, and power can cage a woman like me.
But Sebastian King is about to learn one brutal truth-
Two can play this game.
If he wants me, he can have me. But he doesn't get to write the rules. I do.
Because when Death itself falls in love... even kings can bleed.
