The Monster I Married: He bought me in a bidding war now he wants my soul too

Sold to the Monster: A Dark Romance

They told me I’d be selling paintings tonight. They lied.

Instead, I found myself on an auction block, my life reduced to the cost of a decent car, all to pay off a debt I didn't incur. My buyer? Adrian Volkov. A man whose family owns half of New York and all of its shadows. He didn't just buy my debt; he bought me.

Adrian isn't a man who makes idle purchases. He collects beautiful, damaged things, and he has a very specific use for me. The terms are terrifyingly simple: six months of absolute obedience. Six months as his companion, learning the brutal realities of his world, attending glittering galas with men who could kill with a phone call, and pretending to be his.

I agreed because I had no choice. But I didn't expect the gilded cage to feel so much like a sanctuary. I didn't expect the monster to have storm-cloud eyes that see right through me, or a touch that feels like a promise.

As the lines between performance and reality blur, I find myself drawn into a world of smuggled masterpieces and ruthless power plays. Adrian is unmaking me, piece by piece, only to rebuild me into someone stronger—someone who belongs in his darkness.

I was bought in a bidding war. I thought I was losing my freedom. But what if the only way to truly be free is to surrender to the monster?

Sold to the Monster is a dark, gripping romance about power, choice, and the terrifying beauty of mutual destruction.
