I spent my entire life as little more than a pawn used for the benefit of others, defined only by my family, my bloodline and my last name. After narrowly escaping my father's plan to kill me, however, I get a second chance at life. For the past year, I've lived under a fake name, with a fake past, all to create a life of my own choosing. That all goes to hell when I find myself abducted and put up for sale at the infamous Black Heart Auctions, a place where anything can be bought and sold-including people. Four men with dark pasts buy me, planning to use me to get their revenge on a mysterious enemy known only as Lorien. Now I must untangle the connections between Lorien and the men, keep my past and identity a secret and never let myself forget the danger these men pose. All I've ever wanted was a quiet, normal life, but to get that, I'll need to survive this first. And here I thought getting sold was the worst of my problems.
