The author says:
Are you ready to meet her? Because I’m thrilled to introduce her to everyone who has and hasn’t read The Marriage Auction already…βββββββββ
…Madam Alana has arrived… and friends, I can’t promise you this one won’t break you into itty bitty pieces… but I can promise you I’ll put you back together again…
So what’s it about?
I run the most elite auction in the world.
Candidates and bidders come from all over the globe hoping to change their lives.
And I deliver.Iβm in the business of bringing couples together in a mutually beneficial and legally binding marriage. The terms are three years for no less than a million dollars a year, not including my commission. Once a pair signs on the dotted line, the contract ensures there is no going back.
Most couples find over time they are a love match, but not all.
Before I took over The Marriage Auction, there wasnβt an extensive vetting process. Some candidates were subjected to horrors that haunt my every waking moment.
I vowed to change that. To stand up for those who deserve more and to release them from the wrongs inflicted upon them by circumstance and chance.
What my bidders and candidates donβt know is that I understand exactly what they are experiencing. I wasnβt always known as Madam Alana.
Once upon a time, I too was purchased in The Marriage Auction⦠And this is my story.

And now… a fun tidbit about the author!
Q: Whatβs the most awkward thing that happens to you on a regular basis?
A: I have this really strange superpower. No matter where I am, or what I am doing, if Iβm alone and someone enters my sight, they feel compelled to tell me their life story. Which honestly is pretty cool since I write books/characters stories for a living, but seriously, itβs all the time.
Everyone knows this about me and see it happen right in front of them. Itβs sooooo weird. I canβt make eye contact with anyone in line at a store or Iβll know exactly why they are there for or whatβs on their mind.
Recently I got on a flight and a woman across the aisle asked me for a phone charger. I didnβt have one. She proceeded to tell me that her boyfriend flew her there to break up with her and went into full details about it all without me saying a single word. Gift/curseβ¦shrugs.
