From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Audrey Carlan comes a new story in her Marriage Auction series...

I run the most elite auction in the world.

Candidates and bidders come from all over the globe hoping to change their lives.

And I deliver.

I'm in the business of bringing couples together in a mutually beneficial and legally binding marriage.

The terms are three years for no less than a million dollars a year, not including my commission.

Once a pair signs on the dotted line, the contract ensures there is no going back.

Most couples find over time they are a love match, but not all.

Before I took over The Marriage Auction, there wasn't an extensive vetting process. Some candidates were subjected to horrors that haunt my every waking moment.

I vowed to change that. To stand up for those who deserve more and to release them from the wrongs inflicted upon them by circumstance and chance.

What my bidders and candidates don't know is that I understand exactly what they are experiencing.

I wasn't always known as Madam Alana.

Once upon a time, I too was purchased in The Marriage Auction... And this is my story.
