About this listen
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Audrey Carlan comes a new story in her Marriage Auction series.
"'Tis the Season," some people say as if the month of December could somehow magically make the world a better place. Fat chance of that happening in Sin City.
In my world, nothing is merry and bright. More like dark and dank. In fact, deck the halls should be deck the slobbering drunk who waited for me to get off work and followed me to my car with only one thing in mind.
He didn't expect a smart girl with a handy-dandy taser, ready to light the star on his tree.
Unfortunately, I didn't expect there to be two of them. While my attacker was on the ground, twitching and convulsing, his face as red and puffed up as ole St. Nick, I was grabbed from behind by Santa's helper.
As luck would have it, a limo rolled through the parking lot just in time. A pair of men exited the vehicle and dispatched my attackers as if by magic.
A sleek, elegant, and expensively dressed woman alighted from her shiny sleigh, took one look at me, and offered me a Christmas miracle…
Three million dollars for three years of my life.
And that's how I met my savior, Madam Alana, owner of The Marriage Auction.
Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new listeners, it's an introduction to an author's world. For fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series.

There's nothing Jasper Maxwell likes better than a good chase. He is patient and cunning, and he is known as one of the coldest hunters in the immortal realm. As a vampire with a hint of demon blood in him, he stands out even amongst the finest trackers in the shifter world. So the fact that his mate has managed to escape him for the past five decades is something that keeps him intrigued and more obsessed with every passing year. The game is beyond delicious until a century-old enemy resurfaces, putting his sweet little mate in danger. At that point, he has no choice but to secure her.

Story
Running into a strange white wolf isn't an everyday occurrence in Derek's life. Neither is finding a naked-and beautiful-woman alone in the park. Had the wolf been an omen of what was yet to come? Because since meeting Athena, Derek's life's been upended. Chased by thugs and with a ransom on her head, Athena isn't divulging why she's a wanted woman. Derek helps her anyway since he's a gentleman and she keeps his curiosity—and other things—piqued. Besides, he'll be damned if some greedy doctor is going to kidnap and experiment on innocent people in his own backyard.

When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor. Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero material with those arms, that chest, and his deliciously oh-so-sexy smirk. The chiseled hunk in flannel has an irresistible off-limits attitude while plucking Gabrielle out of the bushes and saving her from a snake. Unfortunately, he’s not indulging in what Gabrielle is offering—not with his emotional train wreck of a past.
