The Auction

Some girls dream about Prince Charming. I got the highest bidder.

Jules
My dad put me up for auction at a horse show. That’s something you don’t hear every day.
His excuse? He was dying, and he didn’t think I was capable of running our Montana farm. His cure was marriage.
Enter Creed O’Mara—former Navy SEAL and ultimate badass. He decided I was the future he wanted the second he laid eyes on me.
I, however, had other plans. Like surviving this sham of a marriage long enough to divorce him and reclaim my legacy.
We were never supposed to be partners. Never supposed to be friends. And definitely never supposed to fall in love.
That kind of thing is for hopeless romantics.
