Batman meets Beauty and the Beast in this explosively sexy new dark romance from powerhouse bestselling author Sadie Kincaid. When our heroine is forced to sell herself, virginity and all, to the highest bidder in an underground auction exclusively for members of a powerful organized crime group, the mysterious and ruthless Jacob Knight steps in to be her villain...or maybe her hero.

Her name is Imogen. But under the rules of The Auction, she is known only as Lot 51.

At five, Imogen was orphaned and left under the care of her grandfather, Malcolm, and his housekeeper. Her father was a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood and was murdered along with his wife for being a traitor. And now Malcom is getting back in their good graces by raising Imogen as property of the Brotherhood, where she will be turned over at twenty-one and sold to the highest bidder.

Virginity and all.

At The Auction, Imogen is bought by Jacob Knight. A fourty-two year old eccentric, reclusive billionaire. A genius, or a monster, depending on who tells the tale.

Despite Jacob's infamy, she rarely sees him in his mansion. So she roams the halls with only books to speak to. Hearing his voice but never seeing his face, Rumors swirl that he's hideously disfigured, that he's the devil himself. Yet he never touches her.

As Imogen uncovers the answers to some of her questions, the man known as Jacob Knight becomes more intriguing, more attractive. Imogen wants him - the real man behind Jacob Knight. She wants to be touched.

She may have been sold, but Imogen is no man's property. She's determined to be his equal, and to uncover the mysteries that connect them. Even if it will change her life forever.
