Bidding on the Player
(2025)(A book in the Bidding on the Small Town Bachelor series)
A novel by Nichole Ruschelle
‘One auction. One chance. One love they can’t walk away from.’
Layla
A new town was supposed to mean a clean slate—new job, new home, new life. But the second I crash straight into John, the boy I once loved with every piece of me, the man I swore I’d never see again… my fresh start doesn’t feel so simple anymore.
He’s still infuriatingly gorgeous, still carries that dangerous charm that makes my pulse race, and still knows exactly how to unravel me with a single look. I should walk away. I know I should. But fate has other plans, because now we’re working side by side on the town’s biggest fundraiser—the bachelor auction.
John
I’ve made a life out of keeping things casual—fast nights, no strings, no risk. Until Layla walks back in and destroys the walls I’ve built.
She’s temptation wrapped in soft curves and sharp memories, the one woman I could never forget no matter how many others I tried to lose myself in.
Every touch burns, every stolen moment makes it harder to keep my guard up. She left me once, left me bleeding in the rain. I can’t survive that again.
But when her lips are this close, when her laugh lingers in the air, I’m starting to wonder if resisting her is even possible'''
Genre: Romance
