The Bachelor Bid

By Kate Denton

And the winner is The one woman who didn't bid!

Cara Breedon is facing her biggest career challenge to date: to convince impossible, attractive and eminently eligible bachelor Wyatt McCauley to auction himself off for charity. Cara has tried every trick she knows, but Wyatt won't say yes.

Underneath, Wyatt is intrigued by Cara and, little does she know, she's beginning to wear him down. He definitely wants to see more of her. All he has to do is agree to appear in the auction and place an exorbitant bid in her name so that Cara wins the prize a weekend with Wyatt!
