Sold to the Highest Bidder (Book 1 in the Sold series) She begged him to save her. Now, she belongs to a monster. She should have died with them. That’s what the man who slaughtered her family whispered in her ear as he dragged her away from the blood-soaked floor of her childhood home. But instead of a quick death, he had other plans. A girl as rare and beautiful as her was worth more alive than dead. And so, Evadne Sinclair was thrown into a cage, hidden beneath the filth of the underground, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. When she was forced onto the auction stage, chains biting into her wrists, she knew begging was useless. The men before her were nothing but predators, circling their prey, hungry to devour. She had no savior. No way out. Until him. Dante Moretti. Cold. Untouchable. The Mafia’s deadliest king. She didn’t know why she begged him—only that she did. > "Than…thank you…" she shuddered, her body tangling as the chains rattled behind her while she walked alongside the mean-looking man she believed had just saved her from a worse fate. He was cold. Mean. She didn’t know why she thought he was the best man to save her. She only found herself begging him to. He raised his amber eyes to her, a slight smirk cutting across his face. "What’s your name?" If she was shaking before, now she was trembling violently at his sudden cold and authoritative voice. "Evadne Sinclair." "Good, Evadne. Don’t thank me." His voice was like ice. Deadly. Final. "Because two hours from now, you will regret ever begging me to buy you." One thing Evadne had no idea of was, Morretti don't save, he owns.
