She auctions herself to forget him. He outbids everyone to claim her.
The Black Ledger Auction is the ultimate bidding war—where powerful men compete for elite contracts, and every deal is final.
This year, Cassidy Hayes offers something no one ever has before—her virginity.
She doesn’t believe in love. Jaxon Kane—her brother’s best friend and first heartbreak—made sure of that. The Black Ledger was supposed to help her move on.
She never expected him to be in the audience.
Jaxon swore to stay away, but when he sees Cassidy on that stage, offering herself to men who don’t deserve her, he does the only thing he can.
He outbids them all.
Now, she’s bound to him by contract, but Jaxon has no intention of being forgotten. Because he never let go. And now, he never will.
Rebekah Sinclair writes books that bite back. Dark rom-coms. Greek mythology retellings. Wicked fae. Billionaire antiheroes. Her stories blend unhinged humor, high-stakes heat, and emotional wreckage you’ll thank her for later.
With 11 published novels (and plenty more on the way), Rebekah has built a world of morally gray men, stabby women, and plot twists that hit like a betrayal kink. Whether you’re into serial killers with soft spots, gods who fall too hard, or fae realms soaked in shadow, there’s a love story in her lineup that will ruin you—in the best way.
Off the page, Rebekah is a single mom to five wildly chaotic kids and four fur-babies (two cats, two dogs, all equally dramatic). Writing started as her escape. Now it's her full-blown career, complete with exclusive covers, spicy book boxes, and signings where readers show up wearing eyeliner sharper than her plot twists.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably hiding from her kids in the pantry, pretending to be brainstorming.
Welcome to Rebekah Sinclair’s world. The spice is high. The stakes are higher. And no one makes it out emotionally intact.
I genuinely wasn't expecting this to be any good. I'm in a severe reading slump and just wanted simple and spicy.
THIS WAS GLORIOUS!! Honestly this was the most fun to read, and it had me laughing constantly. Jaxon is delicious and I really enjoyed the romance. Also super rich heroic biker boyfriend anyone?? 💀
Anyway, the spice and banter were elite, and I liked the storyline. The ending was cringe as fuck (the church....really??) and I think the Jonathan situation for both Jaxon and his 6 years of celibacy, and what he was doing to his family/Cassidy didn't make much sense. But it cured my reading slump and that's enough for me 😂
Sooooo I’m enjoying this series immensely and need more
The Auction by Rebekah Sinclair is book 4 in The Black Ledger Billionaires series that takes you on a twisty ride. I have blew through this series so fast and this one did not disappoint… I need the next one like I’m going through withdrawals 🤣😂 The epic love stories with a dark twist that Rebekah is able to spin is just *chefs kiss*. I fell in love with Jaxon and Cassidy’s romance and the enemies to lovers of it all. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
At first glance reading the back of the book was concerning lol. Like why would you put yourself up for auction. But the reasoning behind it was so meaningful it was like it’s a bad decision but for a good cause. Jaxon was definitely her childhood love and the type of man to risk it all for you. Jonathan was an asshole , he didn’t care for nobody but himself and wanted to support his own coke addiction and was willing to let his my die of cancer. Cassidy and Jaxon’s love was unbreakable, they loved each other since kids and couldn’t let go.
I’d definitely loved seeing a second book where their story continues and they get married and Cassidy’s mom (Lily) gets better as she beat cancer.

I had high hopes for this, and Rebekah never lets me down. I’m a sucker for a brother’s best friend trope but I prefer when the brother is not an insufferable twat. I don’t love a bratty fmc because outside the bedroom it’s just irritating but I’ll make an exception here because this fmc earned every ounce of attitude. As usual, perfect drama, good spice, beautiful love story, plenty of humor and banter. So far this series is all winners and I am certain the trend will continue.
I was salivating for this one to come out. I love a brother's best friend trope more than anything and Rebekah Sinclair DELIVERED. Can't wait for The Final Contract so I can fall in love all over again.
omg so good. Jaxon was everything I was hoping he'd be from previous books. Jonathan... Jonathan deserved exactly what he got. Amazing. Had me in a chokehold the whole time.
Loved this book a lot loved how he tried to fight it but he had a pull to her he couldn't fight didn't realize it was a series so going back to first book of series
I hate it with a passion when writers write the scene where the FMC walks in on the MMC with his dick down someone's hole. Toxicity dripping all over. I don't care about his reasons that were explained towards the end or what happened after. And that after he ruined her evening with her date. The audacity! The whole book was already ruined for me ☠️☠️☠️🤢🤮 Also it doesn't make sense, because the only reason he was back was because her brother asked him. Since he had no intention of actually coming back to her or ever claim her he had no reason to .
