THE LAST BID

Some debts can never be repaid. Some auctions never end.

Ava Blandowski is invisible.

No job. No friends. No future. Just a dying mother who doesn't remember her name and an apartment full of unpaid bills. She has nothing left to lose.

Until a black envelope appears at her door.

You are invited to place your last bid.

She walks into a world of shadows and secrets - a Gothic auction where the currency isn't money, but memory. Years. Hopes. Souls. The auctioneer is ancient, silver-eyed, and impossibly dangerous. And he's been waiting for someone like her.

When Ava refuses to play by his rules, she discovers a forbidden truth: the auctioneer has a name. And names have power.

Now she must bid against fate itself. Not for wealth. Not for power. For something far more precious.

Her freedom.

But the auction doesn't forget. Neither does fate. And the last bid always costs more than you have.

A dark, addictive Gothic fantasy romance for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and A Court of Thorns and Roses. If you love slow-burn romance, shadowy anti-heroes, and heroines who refuse to break - this is your next obsession.
