Training with The Auctioneer: The Auctioneer, Part 3: The Auctioneer, #3

By S.H. Stuart

Part 3 of The Auctioneer Serial, a New Adult BDSM Erotic Romance.

The games have begun.

Looks to tempt, touches designed to tease...

Pleasure and punishment has come in the form of training.
As Kate is drawn further into Daire’s world, she struggles to keep her feelings purely professional. The glittering world that Daire now belongs to is far removed from the one they both shared once upon a time.
Kate knows that Daire is dangerous, and her heart doesn’t need the vulnerability feelings for him could bring. But with every touch drawing her in deeper, and every taste feeding an addiction that could destroy her, can Kate continue the contract without losing her heart?
