He lost a piece of himself in combat. She swore off men like him for good.

Benjamin Sapphire is rich, irresistible, and emotionally wrecked. Women are easy.

Love? Not so much.

Jill Baldwin is gorgeous, successful, and done with tall, dark, and disastrous men.

She built her dream life without a man. And she plans to keep it that way.

Until they meet.

Until everything changes.

And suddenly, the stakes are higher than either of them ever expected.

The Ultimate Bid is the third and final installment of the Auction Series, and features Benjamin Sapphire, big brother to Andrew Sapphire, our alpha in books one and two of the series.

Read the conclusion to experience Ben finding his happily ever after.
