A RITA® award finalist for best contemporary romance

Bid on a date with this wounded warrior for an unforgettable night of adventure. Aim high—and bid higher!—because no one comes close to local hero Gabriel Morales.

Molly Dekker hates being the town charity case, but when her son Josh is seriously injured she has no choice. She lets her best friend organize a bachelor auction to help pay her massive bills and make Josh's life more comfortable. She can't bid on any of the men, but a surprise bidder gives her a gift she never expected: a date with the man who saved her son's life—the only one she's in danger of losing her heart to.

Former Air Force pararescueman Gabriel Morales made a career of flying to the rescue, until a tragic helicopter crash stole more than his livelihood. Being auctioned off like a slab of beef isn't in his recovery plan. But one look, one touch and one night unlocking Molly's pent-up passion make him realize how badly he needs to be rescued…and how badly he wants to rescue Molly right back.

Will Molly and Gabriel's never-quit attitude have them rushing head-first into love? Or will their relationship stall before it can get off the ground?
