Auctioned to the Billionaire Bodyguard

Jess
My whole life, people have looked at me and seen one thing… how I look. Never mind that I’m smart. Never mind that I’m funny, or loyal, or that I would set myself on fire to keep the people I love warm. None of that matters when you look the way I do.

When my father dies and leaves me the only thing standing between my mother and nothing, I do what I have to do. I take the job Skeeter, terrifying president of the Gray Bones Motorcycle Club, offers me on sight. Five years later, I’m their highest earner, working the VIP room where the real money lives.

And I am Skeeter’s woman. Not because I chose it. Because he decided, and in the Gray Bones world, what Skeeter decides is law.

Then a stranger walks into the club with fire in his eyes and walks back out with me.
I tell myself it doesn’t mean anything. I’m a job to him, just another rescue mission. I’ve been a lot of things to a lot of men. I know better than to be something as stupid as hopeful.

But then he looks at me like that, and I forget every single thing I know.

Until I see him with her.

Byron
My father built a billion-dollar security empire out of nothing, and I’m supposed to inherit every square inch of it, including the Virginia headquarters that keeps me three states away from everyone I actually care about.
It’s fine. I’ve made my peace with it.
Then my best friend Reynolds calls me in for something that turns out to be a lot more than a favor between friends. His wife Nadine has just discovered she has a long-lost sister — one who’s been trapped inside the Gray Bones MC for five years. We go in to get her out.

I am absolutely not prepared for Jess.
I’m a one-woman man. I’ve been half in love with Carmen Salazar longer than I care to admit, and it’s gotten me exactly nowhere. I know better than to let someone else get under my skin.
Jess gets under my skin.
I fight it. I pull back. I handle it so badly that I make her feel like she’s nothing, when the truth is she’s become everything I think about and nothing I know how to say out loud. She walks away from me and straight into the Cinnamon Girl auction. She’s looking for money, looking for protection from a man who has never stopped hunting her.

I get there just in time to fix the worst mistake I’ve almost made.
She’s mine. And I dare Skeeter to test that.
What I don’t count on is Jess seeing me with Carmen before I have the chance to explain. What I don’t count on is her running — terrified, heartbroken, and completely alone.

Right into Skeeter’s hands.
I didn’t move my entire world to West Bay just to lose her now.
She’s spent five years being someone else’s possession. He’s spent five years wanting the wrong woman. Getting it right was never going to be simple — but nothing worth having ever is.

Auctioned to the Billionaire Bodyguard is the fourth book in Rayna Azure’s West Bay Billionaires series — raw, steamy, and impossible to put down. A rescued-from-the-wrong-world romance with motorcycle club grit, billionaire heat, and a bodyguard hero who burns down his entire carefully planned life for the right woman. Featuring explicit open-door scenes, coarse language, violence, kidnapping, a perceived love triangle, and a hero who figures out — just barely in time — exactly where he belongs. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
For readers 18+ only.

It is strongly recommended to read this series in order.
