The Charity Auction Purchase

She came to the charity auction with one goal: buy forty-eight hours of the most powerful man in the city.

Caitlin Williamson has lost almost everything after her late mother's logistics company was destroyed by a corporate maneuver linked to Stewart Global Holdings. With only $250,000 left to her name, she makes one reckless, desperate bid-not for luxury, romance, or status, but for the truth.

The prize?

Nicolas Stewart. Billionaire. CEO. Married. Untouchable.

She expects two days of interrogation and accountability. Instead, the cold corporate titan becomes dangerously fascinated by the woman who looks at him without fear, refuses to bow to his power, and openly despises him.

As Caitlin uncovers the truth behind her mother's downfall, Nicolas finds himself losing control of the life he once believed was perfect. His marriage, reputation, empire-everything becomes secondary to the woman who refuses to become his.

But Caitlin never intended to fall for the man she came to destroy.

And Nicolas never intended to become obsessed with the woman who bought his time.

"I don't want a mistress, Caitlin. I want everything. I want your mind, your fire, your body... and I want you staring at me with those beautiful, angry eyes every single morning for the rest of my life."
