Overview

One night. One auction. One dangerously irresistible deal.

Theo Marlowe was supposed to be invisible—just another caterer at an elite gala. Instead, he ends up the unexpected star of a secret, high-stakes auction… with a ruthless billionaire bidding six figures to own him for a week.

Dominic Vale doesn’t lose. Ever. But Theo? He’s not playing by anyone’s rules—not even his own.

What starts as a forced arrangement spirals into seven days of tangled power plays, forbidden desire, and soul-stripping honesty. But when secrets are uncovered and control slips, both men are left to ask: Was it just a game, or something much more dangerous—something real?

This red-hot MM romance delivers:
💸 Billionaire x working-class tension with delicious dominance-submission undertones
🎭 A shocking secret-auction setup that flips the power dynamic in seconds
🧠 Emotional slow-burn laced with edge, mystery, and layered trauma
😈 Steamy, intense scenes that melt more than just resolve 💔 One week to surrender… or walk away forever
He was never supposed to be more than a pawn.

But he may be the one thing the billionaire can’t control—or forget.
