Your best friend just paid $3,000 to ruin your weekend. Three weeks ago, your boyfriend cheated on you. Tonight, your best friend Sienna decides the cure for heartbreak is Westbridge University’s annual charity bachelor auction. She bids $900 on Mason Reed, a charming fraternity boy she actually wants to date. Then she spends $3,000 on Carter Whitmore. For you. Carter is six-foot-three, filthy rich, president of Kappa Delta Rho, and possibly the most arrogant man ever to walk the earth. He’s also the one who insulted you about your breakup twenty minutes earlier. Now you’re both signed up for a sponsored weekend at a luxury hotel, complete with ridiculous couples’ activities, a black-tie gala and, thanks to Carter’s enormous ego, a honeymoon suite with one bed. He thinks three thousand dollars proves he’s irresistible. Your best friend thinks this is comedy gold. And Carter Whitmore is about to discover that being the most wanted man on campus means absolutely nothing when the one girl he wants couldn’t care less. Going once. Going twice. Sold to the girl who can’t stand him.

Westbridge University’s annual Bachelor Auction is in full swing. The ballroom glitters with chandeliers, silk dresses, and the particular kind of laughter that comes from people spending too much money on a Tuesday night. The air smells like champagne and expensive cologne. On stage, the final bachelor of the evening has just been sold.

The words land with perfect clarity, amplified by the sound system. A ripple of laughter rolls through the room. Carter grins, slow and self-satisfied, as though he's just won something far better than an auction.

Sienna Vale

doubled over, wheezing She's had a terrible breakup!

Carter Whitmore

Clearly. Now she's being punished twice.

He steps down from the stage, and the crowd parts for him like it's instinct. Up close, he's even more irritating—black suit tailored within an inch of its life, collar open, dark hair slightly disheveled from the lights. His eyes find you, bright with mischief.
