Elizabeth DeVille doesn't belong at a party like this--one where the gowns cost more than her Camry and cigars run higher than her grad school utility bills. Dragged out of seclusion by her best friend Suri, Elizabeth is merely playing dress-up, rubbing elbows with a crowd that banished her troubled family years ago.
Hunter West is tired. Tired of parties, tired of pretending, and tired of trying to right a wrong that haunts him every day. Bourbon heir and professional poker player by day, by night Hunter is gambling with his life in a high-stakes game of crime and blackmail.
When Elizabeth stumbles into Hunter's den of vices, she's a light in the darkness, a flame in the void. And, just like everything he touches, Hunter mars her in a record time. To rectify the damage done, Elizabeth needs money she doesn't have, and she's come up with a foolproof way to get it.
Follow Elizabeth--code-named Scarlett--to the lush Nevada brothel where she'll auction her virginity and risk the only thing that's not for sale: her heart. The highest bidder is a familiar face, with wicked hands and the devil's mouth. And a secret so dark that it could cost her life.
**Mature Content Warning** Not recommended for readers under the age of 17 due to mature language, sexual content, and violence.
O M G!! Take my breath away Selling Scarlett.Sensual, romantic, full of suspense.
I can't remember when I read a book that made me feel every emotion that the character felt and more. Now all I want to know is where to find "Hunter?"

Elizabeth's BFF Cross gets into an accident and she does the unthinkable. She finds a way to pay for his medical expenses so that he doesn't waste away in a state facility. What she goes through, the friends she meets along the way to that "big day" will change her forever and when her crush since being a teenager is the winning bidder...Falling in love, only to be turned away or was she?Hat is he hiding, is it another woman something in his or her past? Is he being blackmailed? Was the sexual tension too much for them?
