Highest Bidder

A pianist who lives in a van takes a job at Salacious Players' Club. She never plans to be part of its auction, but she ends up on the block, with a date to her name going to the highest bidder. The club is far from her usual world, and she does not see herself as the sort of woman wealthy men take home.

The winner is Ronan Kade, the richest man in the club, who pays over a hundred thousand dollars for her time. She thinks he is too old, too rich and too cocky. She also has a secret: he once dated her mother, and he has no idea who she is.

One date leads to a trip to Paris. Then Ronan asks her to move into his penthouse and promises to look after her. Before long she is calling the older man her daddy.

Ronan paid for a single evening, and the relationship has grown well past that. The heroine tells it in the first person, in a romance with a wide age gap and a daddy dynamic. The question is whether the years between them can be bridged, and whether he will forgive her once he learns what she has kept from him.
