The Night Auction

For a gemeyes, love is a prison. What happens when it could mean freedom?Aric is a gemeyes, a powerful and heavily regulated mage in the second class of Vadare society. His whole life, his only goal has been survival-not dreams, and certainly not love. When an old debt comes knocking, Aric is forced to turn to The Night Auction, a club where gemeyes go to be auctioned off for dates.There, he is bought by Kyrell Tierwood, a first class lord who's kinder and handsomer than any Aric has ever met. Kyrell's main draw is his wealth, which Aric needs to pay his debt and protect the family secret.Aric's plan is simple: seduce the money he needs out of Kyrell and then leave him. It's not love, it's business. However, Aric didn't count on his seduction turning into something real. As Aric and Kyrell navigate coexistence, Aric is torn between two worlds: the love he's fostering with Kyrell, and the secret he will do anything to keep.
