Keeping Wicked by Kathryn L. James

It all started with an auction…one where I stood on stage and was sold at a charity event to the highest bidder. I was going to be some lucky guy’s dinner date. And that was all.

Except it wasn’t all. Not even close.

Chad Mitchell, a man with intense whiskey eyes, made me want to do things that were out of character for a broken girl like myself. I didn’t jump in bed with him on the first date, but on the second, he forgot all about our eleven-year age difference.

I didn’t tell him he was going to be my first.
And it was too late when he discovered the truth.

When I tiptoed out of his bed that night, I left without regrets. I never expected to run into him again, but when I did, uncomfortable truths shocked the hell out of the both of us.

I knew we shouldn’t repeat the first mistake, but neither of us could resist the temptation. We agreed to keep our relationship a secret and promised when one of us was ready to call it quits, we would simply walk away without looking back.

Everything changed when my world toppled around me and piece by piece he put me back together again. My heart was in so deep, I questioned if I could ever walk away. But the truth was, his actions made me leave.

But the real question is, will Chad realize his mistake? Will he regret letting me go?
