Wealthy real estate investor Gunnar Hawkens has never bid on a person before — until he discovers his ex-wife has offered herself for sale in a trial engagement on BidWars.com. Placing the highest offer under an assumed name, he wins her back, along with their Wyoming ranch. Now to inform the stubborn beauty he's her anonymous online bidder — and to make her his wife once more.

Daphne Saunders is stunned to find her ruggedly handsome ex-husband on her doorstep and even more shocked to find herself in bed with him in sixty seconds flat. Refusing to take no for an answer, Gunnar sets out to convince Daphne his love for her will never die.

But that's just the problem. Someone will die if Gunnar discovers the real reason for the divorce.
